The three main compositions on “Snowmelt” are the fruit of intense work during the period from 2012 to 2015 by Norwegian-born star saxophonist Marius Neset. On the printed page, these carefully planned and thought-through works, meticulous in their attention to detail and brimming with life, contrast and inventiveness, cover no fewer than 239 pages of full orchestral score.
That Marius Neset would eventually produce an extended orchestral-inspired work had been on the cards for some time. As early as his debut as leader, Suite for the Seven Mountains (Calibrated, 2008), the Norwegian saxophonist was incorporating strings into a contemporary jazz setting with a very personal stamp of authority. The extraordinary Birds (Edition Records, 2013) took the concept to exhilarating heights, with the addition of just a seven-piece chamber ensemble to his quintet producing complex, multi-layered sonic tapestries that sounded more like a full-blown orchestra.
If Neset was searching for that big sound, the opportunity came closer in 2012 through his collaboration with the twelve-piece Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, a commission by the Molde Jazz Festival 2012 that would produce Lion (ACT Music, 2014), a visceral yet lyrical tour de force. Like Lion, Snowmelt's roots also lie in a commission, this time by the Oslo Sinfonietta. The original fifteen-minute piece for solo saxophone, chamber orchestra and choir premiered in March 2013, but Neset had a bigger vision to realize and continued labouring on Snowmelt through 2015.
