Saxtas

Saxtas is a group of four musicians from Sweden, Denmark and Finland that use the sound of eleven saxophones to perform their folk melodies. Expressive, dynamic, energetic, and with a wide ranging musical freedom, they explore the limits and the core of the saxophone and Nordic folk music.

"Perhaps because they have access to the range of Danish, Finnish and Swedish music, they are able to discover nuances and phrasing in the Swedish music that we don't notice ourselves. This gives the quartet's music an entirely special quality." - Jonas Knutsson, musician/composer.
