Marius Neset

Marius is a Norwegian saxophonist and composer who has toured extensively throughout Europe and won several notable music prizes, including the prestigious JazZtipendiat Prize. 'He makes his instrument dance like a gazelle and soar like an eagle, and he's an ingenious composer too' (Ivan Hewitt, The Daily Telegraph) 'Marius is an astonishing saxophonist. I love to hear him perform because he digests all the numerical games that drummers and bassists concoct and throws them straight back with harmony and melody attached. Performing in a band with Marius is like being on a bobsleigh team; his energy, speed of reflex, and superb technique enable him to keep changing up a gear, way beyond what one imagines humanly possible' (Django Bates).
