Amazing! Well Done Håkon , i had a similar experience, i started singing opera and i became a jazz singer, these days i do both and i'm very happy. Thanks for sharing!
Very nicely done! The lieder Ideale, by Tosti, is one of my favorite art songs. I'm going to look you up to see if you've continued your journey into opera and opera-adjacent music as a vocal tenor. As a fan of all kinds of music, jazz included, but primarily opera, a friend sent me this link and I was enchanted.
Ein wirklicher Visonär. Vom Freejazzer entwickelt er sich zum Opernsänger. Und überzeugt Fans aus beiden Lagern. Håkon Kornstad ist ein charismatischer Musiker und unerschrockener Visionär.
Yep. Placido Domingo said it best: "There is no best or better than music. There is just good music and bad music." I bet if he heard this, he'd give a thumbs up.
The talk was beyond entertaining, I admire your courage to try new things, bravo for that. About the singing I think you are still at a very early stage in your vocal training, very nice instrument just lacking training and experience. The part that really moved me is that you are brave enough to do whatever you want regardless of what people or colleagues may say or think, bravo!
Not too keen on the improv biz, but what I do like is that you are seeking to open yourself up to all the potential you have within and share with others. There is nothing like the human voice opened up, on the breath, out and about with no restrictions...and all the better with no electronics as physics of natural sound are incredible when one hears a opened and secured voice live. If you want the technique of Corelli, Domingo and the like, study with Bill Schumann in Philadelphia (American Vocal Academy). He makes the greatest singers on the planet today. (Fabiano, DiDonato, Guiterrez, etc.) Good luck!
I agree. The clue is when he said "The tenors of the past really old tenors, really hit me". A lot of contemporary opera singers seem to sing by "controlled screaming". Jussi Bjorling, (or Gigli, or Pavarotti etc), sang in a different way, to my ears. (I'm not a singer so I don't know why they sound different?)
in the north it works ... Eivor Palsdottir, Tora Augestad and many others ... and maybe we will seen soon aussie Kate Miller-Heidke on the Eurovision Song Contest, another swiss knife in the high soprano range ... Eivor sang Bryar´s Marylin, Miller-Heidke made it to the Met ...
What do you want to say? It ain't the money, here we have a man who is taking risks, seaching for his own way. Are you a qualified jazz cop trying to identify violations against the law of purity?

You are a great singer ... priceless ... out of words!
I'm a metal/jazz drummer + percussionist. saxophonist and a metal/jazz vocalist but I'm going to study opera at university next year. 👉👉

Well Nightwish proved that it works veeeeery well👌

I remember this one & Jason Liem's the best of all the speakers at TEDxOslo... Got serious goosebumps when he started singing.
Great voice! Lovely tone and versatility.
imagine his Canio! His Italian sounds great to me, and the tone is precious metal. Bravo!

wibuteeeee!
whoa, looks nice the result
when a musician is good, everything he does is brilliant (no matter what genres)
So true!

Well. That was amazing.

You are an inspiration.

He's a much better sax player than singer.....the voice is there but the technique is very much a work in progress...and he sure is cute!
So amusing! He has a good sense of humor 😊❤🎉
okay how does this only have 30k views??? amazing

looks like he found something beautiful.
Whatever he touches turns to gold
Awesome! So glad I stumbled onto this. Like/share/share/share. Oh yeah, sub.
Beautiful voice!!!
Very nice!!!
Wow wonder how he sounds now? I can hear his heart in his throat.
cool, brave step to take
Bravo!
Bravissimo
wow!!!!

both. Sing and play and sing
Dobbel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Singing Tostis -Ideale
Wonderful wonderful wonderful
Shame he moved to opera and stunted any tone he had on that saxophone.
Haven't you heard Dwell time, Symphonies in your head and Single Engine?
porgy and bess
those genres really do not go together.

money money money money money

So wrong !! This man is music, and he is brilliant in both opera and jazz !!
Jazz police
Ah yes, every true musician comes around to the appreciation that all instrumentation is an imitation of the legato of singing. Lovely.
