DISCOVER AN OA2 ARTIST:
Ben Markley Big Band
“...an upbeat take on the Big Band format, full of adept arrangements and intricate soloing...Markley fleshes the sound out, giving it a propulsive grandeur...”
Jim Olsen
“My first goal has always been to record original music that interests me and my second goal is to record it with great musicians whom I respect. Composer Jim Olsen has provided both.”
Amy Stephens
“Instantly embraceable jazz ... Stephens reveals towering talents.”
Hans Luchs
“With his engaging debut as a leader in Time Never Pauses, Chicago guitarist Hans Luchs offers up an intriguing batch of well-crafted originals and two delightfully reinterpreted standards.”
Anthony Stanco
“...the emotional source of each of Stanco's tracks is always something incredible that speaks to places we've all been, a place we've all shared.”
Gustavo Cortinas
“Cortiñas creates music that's driving, episodic and straightforward. He can swing with the best of them, but he's not bound to the swing pulse, he's just as comfortable twisting and turning in other directions...”
Mason Razavi
“...an introspective experience of deeper meaning, his latest offering is a mature rendering of masterful playing and ideas. Razavi is definitely one to watch.”
Christian Eckert
“...Christian Eckert is one of the increasingly rare breed of composers who can tell coherent stories. His supply of pithy ideas, melodies and investigations seem sheer endless. That he wanted to forge a bridge to the great Blue Note label era is clear from the first tone: warm sounds, clear linear guidance and a quartet of outstanding musicians... Without doubt a lucky strike.”
Angela Verbrugge
“No maybes; for Verbrugge, now is definitely the time.”
Daniel Jamieson
“...Sudden Appearance announces the arrival of a new, vital force in the big band world.”
