“Marius Neset is one of the new great tenor players of our time in the tradition of Michael Brecker and Jan Garbarek” (Jazzwise). After his venture into a larger band format on his ACT debut “Lion” with the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, Neset returns to a more compact quintet (with guests) for “Pinball.” Neset and his fellow musicians present a dazzling kaleidoscope of expressions and influences. At the same time, Neset sounds as mature, soulful, and melodic as ever before. “Pinball” is likely to mark the next big leap in a young and impressive career.
