Linda Oh Quartet
Greg Ward sax, Linda May Han Oh acoustic bass/electric bass, Fabian Almazan piano, Ziv Ravitz drums
From rock solid accompaniment on double bass to elastic electric bass lines: Linda Oh has mastered it, and always seems to become one with her instrument on stage. On top of that she is an excellent composer of tunes that seem ‘simple and clear, many with folk-like melodies, but are actually complex constructions involving intricate overlays of different densities and activity, sometimes coming into phase, sometimes gently straying apart’, according to Downbeat.
Linda May Han Oh was born in Malaysia and grew up in Australia, but her music breathes the energy of her current hometown New York, where she became part of the bands of Pat Metheny, Dave Douglas and Joe Lovano. At the BIMHUIS she will perform with her quartet, which features her partner Fabian Almazan on piano.
