The British-Nigerian singer/songwriter has had an impressive career as an internationally touring artist with big bands, orchestras and his own quartet, as well as a singer, songwriter and producer. He is a deeply soulful musician who has absorbed the sound of his youth - jazz, world music, soul and pop - and incorporated key elements into his distinctive style. Ola's powerful vocals effortlessly dominate concerts with orchestra or big band, but the concert with the Hazelrigg Brothers at the Nica Jazz Club will be a more intimate and special experience. Their collaboration began in the USA, this concert brings Onabulé and the Hazelrigg Brothers together for the first time in Europe. The Hazelrigg Brothers' arrangements highlight Ola's complexity and subtlety as an artist, creating a captivating, intimate experience of musicality and detail. The brothers are characterized by a highly musical and dynamic playing style, influenced by their training in both early music and contemporary pop - they always sound warm and organic.
