'''Molde International Jazz Festival (MIJF)''' or '''Moldejazz''' (established 1961 in [[Molde Municipality]]) takes place annually in July, and is known as one of the oldest [[jazz festival]]s in Europe. It was initiated by the local Storyville Jazz Club.  Since 1964 it has received government support, and the government [[Buddyprisen|Buddy Award]] was for several years awarded at this festival. To the extent Molde festival operates with records, is probably the bassist [[Bjørn Kjellemyr]] holder of "Most festivals in a row" musicians record. In 2015 he visits Moldejazz for the 17th time in row as performer. Two club gigs with [[Dag Arnesen]]'s band is on the program for the versatile bassist. [[Guttorm Guttormsen]] (1974), [[Jon Balke]] (1975), [[Karin Krog]] (1978), [[Knut Riisnæs]] (1984), [[Terje Rypdal]] (1985, 1986, 1988) and [[Jon Eberson]] (1987, 1989) are among the artists he has visited Moldejazz through the years.
