Rune Grammofon

Rune Grammofon is an independent music label founded by Rune Kristoffersen under the guidance of Manfred Eicher of ECM. Known for their exclusive digipak format, all releases from the label feature unique designs by the renowned designer Kim Hiorthøy.

With a focus on experimental and innovative music, Rune Grammofon has become a leading force in the contemporary music scene. The label showcases a diverse roster of talented artists who push boundaries and challenge conventions.

Since its inception, Rune Grammofon has garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated following. Their commitment to quality and artistic integrity is evident in every release, making them a trusted source for discerning music lovers worldwide.

With Maternity Beat, Hedvig Mollestad has surpassed herself, most significantly as a composer and arranger, and delivered her magnum opus so far. And with Trondheim Jazz Orchestra she found the perfect ensemble to perform it. They have a long tradition for collaborations like this, we can mention Chick Corea, Jason Moran and Marius Neset among many others. And as always, Hedvig truly shines as a guitarist.

It was commissioned by Molde International Jazz Festival and premiered in July 2020, later the same year streamed at London Jazz Festival. The recording took place in Athletic Sound in Halden in October 2021. Since she received the festival’s talent price in 2009 and signed to Rune Grammofon the following year, we have had the great pleasure to release seven albums by her trio as well as two solo albums, all receiving wide international acclaim i n both jazz and rock camps. To complete the circle, Hedvig has been chosen as next year’s Artist in Residence at the festival, a most prestigious institution in Norwegian jazz, held by John Zorn this year and initiated by Chick Corea in 2000 and Pat Metheny in 2001.
