Orion
Orion's lyrical saxophone playing has been compared to Stan Getz and also Jan Garbarek's playing style. The group's music spans a wide field of music, delivered with close interplay and responsive communication.
Örjan Hultén’s band Orion was formed in 2009. One of the quartet’s first gigs was at
home ground, at Eggeby Gård on Järvafältet. 15 years later, after touring the world, and
six albums with glowing reviews, Orion comes back to Järva. This time to
new music venue Bistro Järva Live!
The quartet made their third tour of England this spring.
This is what journalist Chris Baber wrote after hearing Orion for the first time in Birmingham:
“If you have friends or loved ones who are not sure if they like jazz, take them to an Orion
gig to show them what great jazz could sound like. If you have friends and loved ones
who like jazz, take them to an Orion gig. This is poerful uplifting music of the highest
order” -jazzviews.net
”Thought-provoking jazz with world-class sound” Ingrid Strömdahl, SvD
