CD: Happy

Great musicians were often ahead of their time. Maybe that's why saxophonist Marius Neset is one of the most critically and professionally acclaimed European jazz musicians, but not yet a "folk hero." The man's music has so far been too startling, complex, even visionary. Neset's invitation on September 3, 2022, to the BBC Proms, one of the world's most important classical music festivals in London's venerable Royal Albert Hall, confirms his exceptional status.
