In the 1960s, Oxley and Bailey belonged to the first generation of improvisational musicians. They had both started out playing traditional jazz, but they quickly reached the forefront of an unconventional movement that developed a unique sound and revolutionized jazz by creating a new musical language. In 1993, Oxley, Bailey, Wand, and Thomas got together to record this incomparable material. It is really impressive to witness how the Pat Thomas\/Matt Wand sound shines brightly under Oxley and Bailey; the latter play conventional instruments, but in a way that makes them sound alive and creative. This music is very special - you'll have to hear it to believe it.","brand":"Jazzwerkstatt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53913291489622,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/oxley-tony-tony-oxley-quartet-4250079757671","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
