  • Jon Opstad is a composer and jazz drummer. He studied music at St Catharine's College, Cambridge and went on to study an MA in Composing for Film and Television at the National Film and Television School, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. During his time at Cambridge Opstad wrote and recorded his first album Still Picture (2004) which was released on the New Canvas Records label. The album was mixed by Jan Erik Kongshaug at Rainbow Studio, Oslo, Norway, whilst Opstad was researching his undergraduate dissertation. The album received critical praise in publications such as Jazzwise Magazine, Jazz Journal International and The Penguin Guide to Jazz and was noted for its incorporation of influences drawn from artists associated with the ECM record label and the Norwegian jazz scene, brought about in part by Opstad's own quarter-Norwegian heritage. Following ‘Still Picture’, Opstad produced and performed on an album by the South African jazz pianist and composer Nishlyn Ramanna, also released on New Canvas Records. This featured British saxophonist Stan Sulzmann on saxophones and alto flute and was released in 2005, entitled ‘A Thought’. Opstad's second album Interpretations (2007) was recorded with a septet of top London-based improvisers and also received praise in the jazz press.
  • Jon Opstad jazzdobos és zeneszerző. A Cambridge-i Egyetemen tanult zenét, ezen időszak alatt adta ki bemutatkozó lemezét, a Still Picture-t. Az albumról dicsérő kritikák jelentek meg olyan publikációkban, mint a Jazzwise Magazine, a Jazz Journal International és a The Penguin Guide to Jazz; ötvözi az ECM kiadó művészeinek stílusát a norvég jazz-zel, ami betudható annak, hogy Opstad negyedrészt norvég. Opstad második lemeze, az Interpretations hét Londonban dolgozó improvizatív zenész közreműködésével készült. Elődjéhez hasonlóan elismerő kritikákat kapott.
