Molde Concert is a live album by Norwegian jazz bassist and composer Arild Andersen recorded in 1981 and released on the ECM label (ECM 1236). Though highly regarded in present day reviews, Molde Concert was less well received by contemporary critics. The album is notable for the inclusion of Bill Frisell in the line-up, in one of his first appearances on an ECM release.
