A restless creative mind, Oscar has served up a consistent stream of singles, each seeing him reach new heights and levels of acclaim. Renowned for his exuberant live show, when taking to the stage Oscar’s lysergic jazzy soul takes on a whole new life; his Trinity Laban conservatoire training coming to the fore via a flurry of virtuosic guitar freak-outs, aided and abetted by lyrical saxophone blasts, warped funky basslines, meticulous jazz percussion and glistening keys.
As well as latest single “Gravitate” and the preceding “Misty Head/Sunny Street”, Live In Amsterdam sees Oscar storm through earlier singles such as “2 Sides”, “Do You Really” and “Give Back What You Stole From Me”, as well as a stripped-back cover of “Pour It All Out” by reggae legend Bankie Banx.
It’s been quite the couple of years for Oscar Jerome; through a steady release of singles and EPs he’s gone on to clock up considerable airtime and playlisting from the likes of 6 Music, Radio 1and 1Xtra and become something of a mainstay on the London jazz circuit, collaborating with peers including Ezra Collective, Sons of Kemet and Binker & Moses and consistently playing to sold-out crowds across the capital. Though London clearly courses through his creative DNA, he’s also picked up a devoted international fanbase too – thanks to a number of tours across mainland Europe and the US, with Australia next on the list. The forthcoming Live In Amsterdam album – which was recorded straight from the desk at a sold-out show at Amsterdam’s Bitterzoet in February – sees him commit that inimitable live show to wax for all to enjoy.
