Pinball (released 30 January 2015 in Germany by the label ACT Music – ACT 9032-2) is the 6th album of the Norwegian saxophonist Marius Neset.[1] [2] [3] [4]
Neset and his comusicians here presents a shimmering kaleidoscopic album of different expressions and influences, and delight with compositional and instrumental complexity. At the same time, Neset sounds more mature, soulful and melodic than ever before.[1]
The All About Jazz reviewer John Kelman awarded the album 4.5 stars[2] and the review by Ian Patterson of the British newspaper The Guardian awarded the album 4 stars,[3] The Irish Times reviewer Cormac Larkin awarded the album 4 stars.[4]
The Guardian critique Ian Patterson, in his review of Neset's album Pinball states:
... The folk and world-music sweep of its snaking melodies, the subtlety of its tonal contrasts and its mix of intensity and insinuation make Pinball another step-change in Neset’s already spectacular career ...[3]
