Oxley perform music composed or associated with Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Duke
Ellington, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Johnny Green and many others. The intimacy of the duo
allows for close, improvised interplay that is melodic, lyrical and infused with a harmonic
richness. The result is a performance of unique, personal interpretations of some of the
greatest music in the jazz repertoire.
“..one of the most original and interesting jazz saxophonists on the British scene” TIME OUT
“I listen again to Colin Oxley’s glorious guitar, responding with both masterly chording and
joyful single notes to every mood” Humphrey Littleton
