OSKAR JONES QUARTET
£10 + VAT
Oskar Jones is a London based artist whose practice spans many facets of contemporary music, including jazz, ambient-electronic, and experimental, across numerous projects and collaborations. His work is a reflection of mental and physical environments that borrows the conveyance of atmosphere and mood through music from impressionistic philosophy, and combines this with the anarchic structures of jazz, and its framework for individual and group expression through improvisation.
Oskar's compositions focus on the intentionality of expression, honesty, and authenticity through pellucid, lyrical melodies and fierce grooves that straddle through-composition and improvisation, drawing cross-genre inspiration from likes of John Coltrane, Tigran Hamasyan, and Maurice Ravel. Underpinned by strong emotive and visual associations, the band shapes dynamic forms and intense contrasts that seek to evoke, capture, and communicate the feeling of ephemerality.
Receiver of the Help Musicians postgraduate award in 2024, and the Bucher-Fraser Scholarship from the Reid School of Music in 2023, Oskar has patiently been developing his compositional and improvisational approach throughout his time on the masters programme at GSMD. Now, with a debut album release on the horizon, he is eager to share his sound with audiences.
