Description

This Swedish band is part of the new movement in European Jazz bringing Nordic rhythms and atmospheres to life. ?rjan Hultén, one of Sweden's foremost saxophonists and improvisers, is a musical explorer always looking for the next challenge. His critically acclaimed quartet Orion was conceived from ?rjan's impulse to create something altogether fresh in 2009. The quartet has recorded four albums and the latest, Minusgrader this year, has received stunning reviews.

In his compositions ?rjan Hultén moves effortlessly across boundaries and musical genres. Here and there Middle Eastern and Balkan traits can be heard while one can distinguish traces from Wayne Shorter or Joni Mitchell in other parts. ?rjan Hultén?s Orion is featuring four of Sweden?s top musicians, each of them a well-known and celebrated musician/bandleader in his own right. This is the first time the quartet is touring the West Midlands. This gig is part of a tour around other venues in the West Midlands, organised by Jazz Midlands.
