Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on June 07, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Jon Balke! May your day be as magnetic and vibrant as the legendary Magnetic North Orchestra you've masterfully led. Your compositions have always been jazz's true north—guiding listeners through sonic landscapes that are both innovative and timeless.

From pioneering groundbreaking projects to becoming one of Norway’s most celebrated jazz composers, your musical journey continues to inspire us all. Here's hoping this year brings you even more harmonious adventures, unforgettable performances, and perhaps a few spontaneous improvisations along the way. Keep swinging forward with style—we can't wait for what you'll compose next!
