Ketil Bjørnstad (born April 25, 1952 in Oslo) is a Norwegian pianist and composer. Initially trained as a classical pianist, Bjørnstad discovered jazz at a young age and has enthusiastically embraced the emergence of 'European jazz'.
Although perhaps best known as an artist on the ECM record label, Bjørnstad is also an accomplished writer, having published some 20 books (predominately novels) and a number of poetry and essay collections.
He has frequently collaborated with other ECM artists, including cellist David Darling , drummer Jon Christensen , and guitarist Terje Rypdal.
