Marius Neset UK Tour Dates announced
Celebrated Norweigan saxophonist and composer Marius Neset will embark on his second tour of the UK this Feb.
Marius Neset is increasingly regarded as a major emerging voice on the European jazz scene, and his second album (released in the spring) more than justifies the acclaim that is coming his way. The Norwegian saxophonist makes his instrument dance like a gazelle and soar like an eagle. It’s not just the virtuoso technique that impresses, although that is already at a level few saxophonists can live with. Nor is it just Neset’s distinctiveness as a composer. Both these aspects are part of a package that is given shape and focus by that indefinable extra factor that adds up to a unique musical personality.
“Marius Neset combines Brecker’s power and Jan Garbarek’s tonal delicacy, but has a vision that makes all 11 originals on this sensational album feel indispensable, and indispensably connected to each other. Neset is on his way to being one of the biggest new draws on the circuit”. ***** 5 stars

Pianist Andrew McCormack and saxophonist Jason Yarde have both played with the great and the good of their own and of older generations. The sheer quality and range of their work would baffle many a working musician, but no-one becomes this good just by association or ambition. No-one makes music this eloquent unless it comes from a very special place. With huge acclaim from international and national for their second album Places and Other Spaces, this concert is part of their national UK tour. A concert not to be missed!
