Hayden Powell

**Hayden Powell** is a Norwegian jazz trumpeter and composer known for his lyrical style and genre-blending approach. Active since the early 2000s, he’s become a staple of the Nordic jazz scene, collaborating with artists like Mathias Eick and Bugge Wesseltoft while balancing acoustic traditions with electronic experimentation. His recent releases—including the introspective *Circadian Rhythm and Blues* and the shadowy, atmospheric *Skyggespill*—showcase his knack for weaving improvisation with moody, cinematic textures. Whether diving into the organic grooves of *Roots and Stems* or the playful spontaneity of *The Attic*, Powell’s work feels like a conversation between jazz’s roots and modern innovation, delivered with a warm, understated flair.
