Live and act
Neset grew up in Bergen and studied from 2003 in Copenhagen at the Rytmisk Music Conservatory , where he was invited by Django Bates to his stoRMChaser Big Band and then to Human Chain . He counts Django Bates as one of his formative influences. Since 2005 he has played in the Scandinavian electronica / jazz rock band JazzKamikaze , with whom he recorded several albums.
In 2009 he released his debut album Suite for the Seven Mountains (Editions Records). The backup band for the album came from the Norwegian quartet People are Machines (with Magnus Hjorth , piano, Petter Eldh , bass, Anton Eger drums), in which he played and with whom he recorded two albums (People are Machines 2007, Jazz Getxo 2007). In 2010 he toured with Klüvers Big Band in a Rolling Stones project, including at the Kongsberg Jazz Festival .
He had his breakthrough in 2011 with his second album Golden Xplosion (Edition Records) with Django Bates on keyboard / piano (as well as electric horn and trumpet), bassist Jasper Høiby and drummer Anton Eger (except for Bates from the Phronesis Trio), which was largely positively received by the critics, especially in Great Britain ( John Fordham compared him in the Guardian as a mixture and successor to Michael Brecker and Jan Garbarek ) and under whose name he also toured. In 2011 he performed at the jazz festivals in Molde and Copenhagen and toured the UK, including the Pizza Express Jazz Club in London, broadcast by BBC Radio 3 . He performed in a quartet at the Jazzfest Berlin in 2012 ( Golden Xplosion Quartet with the Phronesis Trio made up of pianist Ivo Neame , drummer Anton Eger and bassist Graig Earle) and in 2013 at the Jazzopen Stuttgart and Elbjazz .
