The band of Oboes “First Impression” CD is a sparkling new sound. 5 oboe players juggle between oboe, oboe d’amore and cor anglais backed by keyboards, guitars, bass and drums. The 16 tracks are immensely varied ranging from full out jazz funk, Latin American and ballads, then down to only two players weaving together in intimate duets. The playing is tight yet still has a live vibrant flavour. The only cover is a sonata by Telemann given a jazz feel. An original and eclectic album infused with great enthusiasm and humour. Rob Rogers (Oboist and originator of the music) says that his first inspiration was the fantastic sound of “highly strung reeds” playing in a tight knit ensemble.
