Daniel Herskedal – tuba
Marius Neset – saxophones
Norwegian saxophonist Marius Neset’s second Edition release, ‘Neck of the Woods’, introduces the awe-inspiring and inspirational Herskedal/Neset duo, with Norwegian tuba player/composer Daniel Herskedal.
A saxophone/tuba duo seems like an unlikely pairing, but both players share such a formidable musical gift that the result is an unique and emotionally expressive range of sounds – sometimes plaintive and melancholy, sometimes humorous and playful, but always lyrical and moving. With the addition of a male choir on three tracks, the original compositions explore influences from classical and folk music, but always with an underlying jazz sensibility – from the soaring and uplifting classical grandeur of ‘Hulken’ to the simple and sublimely beautiful arrangement of Abdullah Ibrahim’s ‘The Wedding’, ‘Neck of the Woods’ is an album of extraordinary creativity and energising charm.
Due for release in September 2012, Herskedal/Neset will launch ‘Neck of the Woods’ with a UK tour. Tour dates and further information to follow soon.
