Career
Wesseltoft joined the Knut Riisn Quartet in 1989 and was contacted by Arild Andersen shortly after he was asked to participate in commission work for Vossajazz, which was released on the album Sagn (1990) and the follow-up Arv (1993). Molde Canticle, a Moldejazz commission, was released on the 1990 album I Took Up the Runes by Jan Garbarek.
Wesseltoft made a contribution to the Norwegian jazz scene in the 1990s, exemplified by the ECM label, to a style that has been referred to as "future jazz" or nu jazz. He toured extensively on the international jazz scene in the 1990s, appearing both jazz and rock concerts, as well as a collection of albums on his own Jazzland label. In the 1990s, he performed and recorded the album Billy Cobham Presents Nordic – Off Color, which was released in 1999 alongside Billy Cobham and Jon Eberson, as a guitarist and Jon Eberson. For many years, he collaborated with experimental jazz vocalist Sidsel Endresen and was in the lineup for her commission work at Moldejazz in 1993, which was released on the album Exile a year later. A Little War Story for Vossajazz was also produced in 1993 by his own commission.
Wesseltoft formed New Conception of Jazz in 1995, and their first album, New Conception of Jazz, was named a Spellemannprisen in 1996, the same year it was published.
Wesseltoft rejects acoustic styles completely, and is also determined that he will not be tied by genre boundaries, including hip hop and other modern dance music styles into his concept of contemporary jazz. Many listeners were taken by surprise by the extensive use of club DJs and scratchers on the album Sharing (1998).
In Philippe Harel's film Extension du domaine de la lutte, an adaptation of Michel Houellebecq's 1994 book "Existence" can be heard.
Wesseltoft formed the jazz trio Rymden after collaborating with Dan Berglund on his album Trialogue in 2014, adding Magnus ström on drums. They appeared at the Nattjazz Festival in Bergen for the first time in 2017. They started working on a debut album after this encouraging success, according to Wesseltoft. More appearances were followed in 2017 and 2018, and Rymden's first album, Reflections & Odysseys, was released in 2019.
Wesseltoft's solo appearance at The Punkt Festival in Kristiansand, Norway, was one of his top live shows of 2013," All About Jazz's John Kellman said.
