Mary Halvorson Amaryllis Sextet and Xavi Torres Trio to Nasjonal Jazzscene
A sextet of fantastic improv musicians from New York and a Spanish trio with infectious energy.
In collaboration with the Nasjonal Jazzscene, Oslo World presents two fantastic names in modern jazz this year.
Mary Halvorson Amaryllis Sextet
Mary Halvorson's slightly seasick guitar tone has become a regular and almost essential feature in the concert program at Victoria. Halvorson is also a significant composer and bandleader, something that becomes clear in the Amaryllis Sextet, named after the group’s debut album from 2022. In the sextet, she has assembled a true all-star lineup of improvisational musicians from the forefront of New York’s jazz scene. The music is melodically accessible, and the performance is a showcase of improvised interplay.

Xavi Torres Trio
Spanish piano virtuoso Xavi Torres, born in 1991, is one of the most outstanding young musicians on the European jazz scene.
Torres' music is highly imaginative and melodic, while also being rhythmically strong and energetic. He combines his Mediterranean roots with experiences from Amsterdam, classical music, and South American rhythms. The compositions and the interplay with the band are constantly evolving and full of exploration, making each concert unique and taking the audience on an emotional journey.
