Ocelot

  • The Jazz Gallery www.jazzgallery.org (map)
 

Yuma Uesaka -tenor saxophone & clarinets
Cat Toren -piano
Colin Hinton -drums & percussions

Avant-Jazz trio Ocelot is equal parts exceedingly patient, joyfully chaotic, and uneasy. Each member composes for the group which offers fresh sounds while achieving a balanced set of music.

Ocelot makes their triumphant return to the stage ready to show off their signature fiery grace to a live audience. Unable to have an official album release due to pandemic restrictions, the trio is thrilled to perform music from their self-titled debut (577 records).

“their interplay suggests a life of its own” – Nate Chinen, WBGO

“blend of poise and passion” – John Sharpe, New York City Jazz Records

“a manifestation of pure, focused will” – Dave Sumner, Bandcamp Best Jazz March 2021
