About

OK Aurora is an octet comprising of several up and coming Jazz musicians from the London scene, including Russian vocalist Alina Miroshnichenko. The band plays the original music of Amsterdam based drummer / composer Rod Oughton, whose compositions have been influenced by his travels in Brazil, Cuba and East Africa. Their debut album, ‘Only In Autumn’ [Ubuntu Music, 2021], was frequently played on Jazz FM, BBC Radio Wales and London Jazz Radio. It also received a 5* review from Jeremy Isaac at the Jazz Journal, who called it the ‘most exciting thing I’ve heard for ages‘. The band first played at the Vortex last summer, and are very happy to be making a return!
