Osian Roberts/Steve Fishwick Quintet
View band details Biography RESX Biography.Help
Steve Fishwick – trumpet/flugelhorn, Osian Roberts – tenor sax, Olivier Slama - piano, Dave Chamberlain - bass, Mat Fishwick – drums. The Osian Roberts/Steve Fishwick Quintet plays jazz in the tradition of the great hard bop bands of the 1950s and 60s, namely The Miles Davis Quintet, Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, The Horace Silver Quintet, The Benny Golson/Art Farmer Jazztet, Kenny Dorham’s Jazz Prophets, and The Cannonball Adderley Quintet. Its repertoire consists of mostly original material, as featured on its debut album, Too Much, as well as a selection of carefully chosen standards arranged by various members of the group. Osian Roberts and the Fishwick brothers, Steve and Mat, met on a Royal Academy’s jazz course in 1994, and have worked and rehearsed together on a regular basis ever since. This Quintet started out as an informal jam session but before long was performing regularly on the London scene. All band members are highly regarded on the British and international jazz scene, and each brings a unique voice to his instrument, adding to the collective sound. Live, you can expect a well-balanced, polished performance of a varied set of music by a smartly dressed, tight-knit, and above all, swinging unit.
