MARIUS NESET & TRONDHEIM JAZZ ORCHESTRA — Lion (2014) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

"What Neset does on the saxophone is nothing less than a step into a new dimension of this instrument" (Süddeutsche Zeitung).
"Lion" is his ACT debut, and, as could hardly be expected otherwise, Neset has not opted for a probing or introductory album, but for a real bang for the buck. Together with the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, not only a new saxophone lion takes the plunge, but also one who can make an orchestra sound like few others. ACT

E.S.T. SYMPHONY — E.S.T. Symphony (2016) 24-96Hz | FLAC (tracks), lossless

Departure and remembrance: With the E.S.T SYMPHONY, the music of the most significant and influential European jazz band of the last 20 years takes on a symphonic form. What's more, pieces and contemporary jazz classics like "Tuesday Wonderland," "Viaticum," or "From Gagarin's Point Of View" are elevated to a whole new level thanks to a 90-piece orchestra. They take on a life of their own, immortalized in sheet music and detached from the e.s.t. (Esbjörn Svensson Trio). ACT

MARIUS NESET — Pinball (2015) FLAC (tracks), lossless

"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. ACT
