Marius Neset combines Brecker's power with tonal delicacy of Jan Garbarek, having also a vision that acclaimes Scandinavian musician as the most significant new discovery in the modern jazz world.

Their music gives the audience the opportunity to truly immerse in the phenomenon of Scandinavian jazz and enjoy European contemporary music of the 21st century.

In recent years, the Scandinavian jazz became a major musical discovery of the new century.

Today Scandinavian jazz no longer share famously frigid and introverted tone of Jan Garbarek, and they don't play music inspired only by meditation of the fjords, but rather rely on the contemporary musical idioms and, as say an English critic, have the ability to "tear out the soul" listener, open debate on jazz and do not let them alligne in "jazz ghetto". It seems that the Scandinavians have found a formula for European jazz since they deliberately do not want to rely on an American tradition, but draw influences from their traditional musical heritage, classical, rock, pop and electronic music.

Marius Neset and his musicians lead the listener on a journey that leads the listener on a journey, where he connects with a diverse array of influences, extraordinary energy, creativity and above all trully original sound.

The band is made up of skilled Norwegian-Swedish-Danish musicians, educated at the famous Copenhagen Rhythmic Music Conservatory under the supervision of Django Bates, where each of them individualy has a remarkable solo career and numerous awards (JazzDenmark, Young Nordic Jazz Comets, Best Jazz Album - Jazzwise , Parliamentary Jazz Awards, London Awards for Art and Performance, ...)
