About the album

Artist(s)

Marius Neset

Neset burst onto the scene with his first album as leader in 2011, and was instantly hailed as combining “Brecker's power and Garbarek's tonal delicacy” and being “on his way to being one of the biggest new draws on the circuit” (Guardian).This is his his most ambitious, cherished and personal project to date. In these concentrated works, Neset has sought out chaos and dissonance, he has also been drawn to lyricism and tenderness, and then worked at finding a balance between the extremes, using compositional methods which subliminally bring out the continuities between them.

Petter Eldh

Petter Eldh (b.1983) - the bassist with the beautiful tone - has also come far. He was born and raised in Gothenburg in Sweden. He received his first guitar at 11 but switched to bass three years later. He began his musical education in his hometown but obtained his Masters in 2009 from Copenhagen’s Rhythmic Conservatory. Despite plenty of work at home, Petter resituated, and now divides his time between Copenhagen and Berlin - when not touring with one of the internationally renowned groups he plays with, such as the British pianist Django Bates’ trio.

"The convoluted themes remain, but they are balanced by slinky grooves and broody soundscapes." 
Financial Times, 18-3-2015

"Hotly tipped for fame, the Norwegian saxophonist brings the busy, vibrant sound of new album Pinball to the stage." 
The Times, 14-3-2015

"With this album, Marius Neset took another step toward the podium occupied by the best comtemporary saxist-composers on the world jazz scene." 
The Guardian, 14-3-2015

"There's a vibrancy about Neset's music that, even in his most reflective moments, gives off a feeling of energy and ideas being taken to the nth degree of interest and, a full-flow (as on the galloping, zizzying Summer Dance). notes tumble forth in invigorating, hectic ecstasy."
