Oh People
Biography Oh People
Oh People
is a new, dynamic jazz quintet consisting of some of Denmark's most prominent young musicians. After many years of cross-collaboration, they are now united in a joint labour of love that celebrates the many facets of jazz with a fresh, modern approach. The quintet combines a deep respect for the jazz tradition with a willingness to challenge boundaries and create something new and personal.
In January 2025, Oh People will release their debut album, ‘Part-Time Elegance’, on the acclaimed April Records, which will be marked with a series of concerts both at home and abroad. With their original compositions, impressive technical skills and innovative approach to the classic jazz format, the quintet creates a musical experience of the highest calibre.
Oh People draw inspiration from jazz masters such as Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and The Jazz Messengers, but their expression is also characterised by a unique, contemporary voice that both draws on the roots of jazz and points towards new musical horizons. Their harmonic, melodic and rhythmic diversity creates an emotional journey that captivates audiences and leads them through everything from intensely swinging passages to moments of delicate beauty.
