Nexus was formed in 1980 by Daniele Cavallanti and Tiziano Tononi with the idea of creating a long lasting unit/sound inspired by the most peculiar musical experiences of the '60s (Mingus, Coleman, Coltrane, Shepp, Cherry, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Liberation Orchestra etc.), rended in a contemporary context. In over twenty five years of activity Nexus has become more and more a sort of a workshop band in which many different musicians have been playing, adding their own voices to what has always been, anyway, the "Nexus sound".
Nexus took part in the most important jazz festivals in Italy: Milano, Clusone, Cagliari, Bolzano, Trento, Roma, Pavia, Noci, Talos Ruvo di Puglia, Venezia. Verona. Toured Germany and Holland in '82, '83, '85 and played at jazz festivals in Wien, Koln, Le Mans, Kempten, Mulhouse, Vilshofen, Gent, Opeye, Saarbrucken St. Ingbert, Tampere, Vancouver, Braga.
The repertoire of the group consists mainly of original compositions by the two leaders. Specials projects have been dedicated to the music of Albert Ayler, John Coltrane, Don Cherry, Roland Kirk and Duke Ellington.
