My quartet is taking YEAH! to Denmark for a couple of nice concerts.
Den fremragende jazzsangerinde, Sara Oschlag, er født og opvokset i Danmark og igennem mange år bosiddende i Brighton. Hun har stille og roligt etableret sig som en af Storbritanniens fremmeste jazzsangere.
Hendes seneste album YEAH! Viser tydeligt en moden sanger, som er noget ud over det sædvanlige. Oschlag har en sikker stilsans, en sikker og forførende stemme, og hun kaster sikkert og overlegent ud i scat sang. Sara er da også flittigt spillet på DR P8 Jazz
I Skanderborg giver hun her en af sine sjældne koncerter på dansk jord. Glæd dig til en jazzmusiker ud over det sædvanlige!
“Bookended by the magnificent compositions of Mingus, this 10-track album from vocalist Sara Oschlag is a tour de force that pays homage to the greats while asserting Oschlag’s singular voice.”

Med Oschlags sjælfulde, stilsikre og forførende stemme som centrum leverer kvartetten elegante og intime fortolkninger, der balancerer mellem tradition og originalitet.

Her ability to communicate emotion through these skills, combined with an inherent sense of swing and vitality, results in a compelling and absorbing musical experience.“ – fra All About Jazz’ anmeldelse af Oschlags seneste album YEAH! Fra 2024

Rasmus Sørensen, the 27-year-old pianist from Northern Jutland, has in recent years gained international recognition for his innovative yet accessible sound as both a musician and composer. After taking part in numerous projects both in Denmark and abroad, Rasmus released his acclaimed debut album Traits in 2022, followed by his second album Balancing Act in 2024, featuring American jazz musicians Kendrick Scott and Alex Claffy. This release earned Rasmus a Danish Music Awards Jazz prize as Musician of the Year.

DUKE & ELLA
Following their sold-out inaugural Dean Street 2023 concert and a follow up successful return last year, we had no hesitation in arranging this further 2025 Summertime return for Pete Long and his Echoes of Ellington Big Band presenting the Duke Ellington Song Book, featuring the sensational voice of Sara Oschlag, echoing the style of the great Ella Fitzgerald.
Led by the effervescent clarinetist, saxophonist & band leader, Pete Long, the Echoes of Ellington big band has received great praise nationally as well as internationally. Critics highlight the high level of musicianship and the inventive arrangements, particularly the way the orchestra evokes the writing style of Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. The band is praised for its ability to "get inside the scores" and deliver the "Ellington flavor"- add to that, Sara Oschlag, Danish born but residing in the UK since 2000, who’s natural ability to swing & rhythmically play around with phrasing, perfectly suits the joyous & always respectful to the history & language of jazz, style of Echoes of Ellington. The result is nothing short of a perfectly delivered explosion of sound.
