Marius Neset Quintet – Savoy JAZZFest 6.-9.3.2024

The hottest name in Norwegian jazz for the first time at Savoy Theatre

Norwegian saxophonist and composer Marius Neset’s distinctive music, famous for its rhythmic changes, has captivated classical music audiences and jazz circles around the world. Brian Morton summed it up in Downbeat magazine in 2022: “He is not the future of European jazz, he is the present.”

The Marius Neset Quintet will feature keyboardist Elliot Galvin from the UK, Kaspar Vadsholt from Denmark as well as pianist Magnus Hjorth and drummer Anton Eger from Sweden.
