Career

[edit | edit source]

Kolve was born in Voss but since 1988 has lived in Bergen, where he was educated at the Bergen Musikkonservatorium.[2] With his own Trio Ivar Kolve Trio (established in 1996) Sébastien Dubé (bass) and Stein Inge Brækhus (drums), he has released a number of albums.

Kolve is part of the band «Spindel» led by Liv Merete Kroken and Sigrid Moldestad (Spindel 2001 and Aminje 2005). He has also participated in a number of projects like with the Voss Children's Choir «Småkvedarne» (Småkvedarne, NorCD), and with Jan Gunnar Hoff Free flow songs, commissioned work for Vossajazz in 2005.[1]

At Vossajazz 2014, he appeared with an Polyostinat experience. Here he performed with an elite team of Norwegian musicians, Kåre Kolve, Jørn Øien, Ellen Andrea Wang and last but not the least Jarle Vespestad. They delivered an indulgent poly rhythmic and poly harmonic treat for the discerning ear.[3]
