Jazz talk Thursday
Each day starts with Jazz talk from the stage, where current festival artists and other festival people are interviewed by Audun Vinger and Filip Roshauw.

Who will be the recipient of this year's #huninvester grant, which involves a large cardboard check and the opportunity to come back next year to present a commissioned work? He's a good musician anyway, and she comes to the jazz box.
Phil Minton & Veryan Weston. Særingfest down at Smeltehytta is one of the festival's central organs, indeed it is one of the things that gives Kongsberg the most artistic distinctiveness. These are two great veterans of British improvisational music, vocalist and pianist respectively, and with a long and osmotic collaboration.
