Leading young saxophonists Marius Zeeberg and Asger Nissen have both established international careers in recent years. Recently returning to Copenhagen, they quickly forged a strong musical bond.

Asger Nissen

Danish alto saxophonist and composer Asger Nissen has just returned to Copenhagen after seven years of study at Jazz Institute Berlin. In 2023, he released his debut album Nissen Mosh – Precious, followed in September 2024 by Kaiser Pommes, an album recorded with his new band of the same name, co-led with trumpeter Kasper Tranberg.

Drawing on a deep love of the jazz tradition and inspiration from 20th-century classical composers, Asger Nissen has crafted a strong personal sound that blends agile melodic structures and rhythmic complexity with intuitive interplay and pure emotion.

Marius Zeeberg

Copenhagen- and Stockholm-based saxophonist and composer Marius Zeeberg is active both as a sideman in various Scandinavian ensembles and as leader of his own trio. Musically, he draws inspiration from the early free jazz of the 1960s as well as from modern virtuoso saxophonists such as Mark Turner and Chris Speed.

His recent release Garage Sale, which has earned praise from critics, expands his already tight-knit trio with four additional horn players from Stockholm’s jazz and improvisation scene.
