In April 2011, Norwegian-born/Copenhagen-based musician Marius Neset released his debut album Golden Xplosion which led to the saxophonist and composer becoming one of the most talked about newcomers on the European jazz scene. Described by Terje Mosnes (Dagbladet) as ‘the most talented Norwegian saxophonist since Jan Garbarek’, Golden Xplosion demonstrated exemplary technique, energetic creativity, imagination and virtuosity on tenor and soprano saxophones, as well as his brilliance as a composer of intricate, compelling music. Two years on and he had produced an album ‘Birds’ that exceeded all expectations. Gaining new fans at every turn, Neset is firmly on his way to becoming a superstar.
