About Me

BLÅ is an independent club in Oslo for live, contemporary “jazz and related sounds.” It is a professional venue dedicated to up-and-coming acts from all over the country, while also hosting established international artists.

By establishing the bp record label and the TINNITUS booking agency, BLÅ has formed a self-sustaining new music forum to stage events such as “BLÅ, Molde” at the Molde International Jazz Festival. Last year's inaugural event represented a new take on festival performances, namely a mobile BLÅ club concept: A total of 45 musicians, 23 staff, lighting, PA, and three gourmet “jazz food” chefs were ferried in two 18-wheelers the 1,000 kms from Oslo to Molde.
