The New Jamie Oehlers Quartet
Wednesday, 29th September @11:00 PM
The past two years have been busy for Jamie. On top of becoming the Coordinator of Jazz Studies at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, Jamie has toured Australia and Thailand with the Ari Hoenig Quartet, performed in New York and around Australia with George Garzone, performed with Charlie Haden, Eric Harland and Reuben Rogers as part of the Melbourne Jazz Festival, has recorded two new albums of standards with Paul Grabowsky and has maintained his own festival and club appearances around the globe with the Jamie Oehlers Quartet, Lost and Found, the Paul Grabowsky Sextet and Blowfish.
Having been living back in Perth now for two and half years, Jamie Oehlers has formed a quartet made up of three of Perth's finest young musicians, Nick Abbey (bass), Sean Phillips (drums) and Tal Cohen (piano). Jamie describes these young players as some of the best young talent he has ever come across. Playing with these really creative and energetic young musicians has been an inspiration for me. When we first played together I knew something special would come of this union. As we played, rehearsed, hung out and discussed music, we developed an understanding of the direction this group would take, as well as a deeper understanding of each other's unique influences and how they would integrate.
This tour represents the result of that understanding.' Jamie's music is always energetic, creative and honest. Be one of the first to hear this new quartet and some of Australia's finest new talent with one of Australia's most awarded jazz artists.
