Marius Neset is just 25 years old, yet as a musician and composer he brings an astonishing maturity to all his work. He was born in Bergen, Norway but moved to Copenhagen in 2003 to study at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory. It was there that he met and studied with British keyboard virtuoso and composer Django Bates. Bates was quick to recognize the young man’s talents and Neset has been a member of Bates’ stoRMChaser big band since 2005. More recently, he has joined his former teacher’s small group Human Chain and played with the group to great acclaim at Ronnie Scott’s early in 2010.
