Con composiciones y arreglos de Johannes Nästesjö, NEO ofrece un jazz muy especial, con unas claras raíces nórdicas y que combina elementos de música clásica, free-jazz y fusión. La banda se caracteriza por tener un sonido único gracias al uso de una instrumentación poco habitual en el jazz: contrabajo, violín, saxo y batería (nota extraída del programa del Estival de Jazz).
