About
JAMIE MURRAY
Jamie Murray is one of the great upcoming drummers on the scene today. A forward thinking and conceptual player with a solid groove style yet he has an open-minded approach to free experimentation. His performances are always fresh and exhilarating. Jamie has a strong sense of writing, his compositions are personal and original with an Electronic/Jazz/Fusion style attached to them.
TOM OLLENDORFF
Tom Ollendorff is fast becoming one of the best known jazz guitarists in the UK. He has performed with artists including Bill McHenry, Ari Hoenig and Jeff Williams, Geoff Simkins and Huw Warren.
‘For this listener, Ollendorf’s sensitivity to space and nuance, and the expressive economy of his phrasing sometimes recalls the work of the legendary graceful Jim Hall (John Fordham).’
MIRKO SCARCIA
Based in the UK since the end of 2019, in over two decades bassist and double bassist Mirko Scarcia performed with several prominent artists in a variety of genres, including some of the top names in Jazz such as Steve Grossman, Ronnie Cuber, Jessie Davies, Jerry Bergonzi, Rick Margitza, Paolo Fresu, Fabrizio Bosso, Flavio Boltro, Shawn Monteiro, Denise King, Gregory Hutchinson, Joe Farnsworth, Willy Jones III, Renato Chicco, Jim Rotondi, Stjeopko Gut to name a few. He has also graduated in Classical Double Bass and Composition and has been working as a composer, arranger and orchestrator with some of the most important icons of Italian Music and Symphony Orchestras.
