Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

Ketil Bjørnstad (Oslo, 25 aprile 1952) è un compositore e pianista norvegese.

Ketil Bjørnstad al Festival di Moers 2004

Bjørnstad, inizialmente pianista di estrazione classica, approda nella musica jazz attraverso l'ascolto di In a Silent Way di Miles Davis, e in seguito l'ascolto di interpreti jazz come Bill Evans e Thelonious Monk.

I suoi dischi presentano, spesso insieme al violoncellista David Darling, musica ispirata a paesaggi nordici, fiordi, contemplazione del mare; la sua discografia è infatti centrata sul tema marino con molti dischi legati alle storie acquatiche. Ha collaborato con vari artisti, tra cui David Darling, Terje Rypdal, Jon Christensen, Jan Garbarek, Arild Andersen, Trilok Gurtu.

Oltre all'attività musicale, Bjørnstad svolge anche attività di scrittore, e ha pubblicato circa 20 libri di novelle e poesie.
