Marius Neset – NEXT
Marius Neset har til sin nye kvintett "NEXT" – som vanlig – håndplukket musikere som ikke bare er kreative og spennende, men som også teknisk og rytmisk behersker hans komposisjoner. Anton Eger har spilt med Marius Neset siden midten av 2000-tallet og har selv gitt ut soloalbum. Engelske Elliot Galvins soloplate ble "Album of the Month" i The Guardian, og hans landsmann Conor Chaplin har spilt med størrelser som Billy Cobham, Bobo Stenson og Jacob Collier.
Til Sobra scene kommer de som kvartett, og dette er stjernelaget vi har gleden av å presentere:
Marius Neset (NO) – sax
Elliot Galvin (UK) – keyboard
Conor Chaplin (UK) – elbass
Anton Eger (SE) – trommer

Marius Neset har de siste årene jobbet mye med store besetninger, og har blant annet skrevet bestillingsverk for Bergens Filharmoniske Orkester og Bergen Big Band. I september 2022 ble hans verk "Geyser", skrevet for London Sinfonietta, uroppført på BBC Proms i Royal Albert Hall.
Han har vunnet flere priser, som Spelemannsprisen i 2014, og vært nominert til ytterligere tre av dem.
Sitater:
“one of the most exciting artists in jazz”, his “discography reveals not only an impressive technician but also a formidable composer” who “strives for deep originality in his music”. (Downbeat when selecting him for their ”25 for the future” list of young and upcoming musicians destined to shape the future of Jazz.)
Nesets musikk er lekende, springende, teknisk komplett og tidvis lyrisk. Marius Neset fra Os har skapt det meste av karrieren sin utenfor Norges grenser. Det er forståelig, med et så eksepsjonelt talent. Desto finere at det drypper på hjemmepublikum av og til. Verdensklasse. (Nattjazz 2019, av Frode Gjerstrand, BT)
Biografi
Born in Bergen in 1985, the Norwegian saxophonist and composer Marius Neset studied at Berklee College of Music, in Boston, during the summer of 2002 before enrolling at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory, in Copenhagen, from which he received an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Music in 2010. He has earned countless nominations and awards for his performances and recordings, including Spellemannprisen, in Norway, for the album Lion in 2014, and an ECHO award, in Germany, for the album Snowmelt in 2017.
