When Marius Neset burst onto the European jazz scene over a decade ago, his arrival was nothing short of electrifying. A saxophonist of remarkable range and imagination, he quickly established himself as one of the most dynamic and original voices in contemporary jazz.

Since then, Neset has brought extraordinary creative energy to every project he touches - whether leading his own ensembles or collaborating with some of Europe’s finest musicians. Constantly pushing boundaries, he continues to captivate audiences with performances that are as bold and inventive as they are deeply expressive.

Marius has received well over twenty awards and award nominations, including the prestigious Edvard prize and Spellemanprisen in Norway, and the ECHO Awards and the Preis der Deutschen Schallplatten Kritik in Germany. He was also the only European to be listed as one of "25 for the Future" by DownBeat in 2016.

The sheer breadth of Marius Neset’s activity at the top level in all kinds of musical spheres is astonishing.
