Örjan Hultén Orion

Örjan Hultén, one of Sweden’s foremost saxophonists and improvisers, is a musical explorer always looking for the next challenge. His quartet Orion was conceived from Örjan’s impulse to create something altogether fresh in 2009. The critically acclaimed quartet has recorded three albums and the latest, “Fältrapport/Field Report” from 2016, has as well as the two earlier albums, received stunning reviews. In his compositions Örjan 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.
