Oppgard is a versatile Jazz collective based in the north of England, performing original pieces composed by members of the group, as well as a mix of standards and more from across the wide spectrum of Jazz. Taking influences from Wayne Shorter, Kenny Garrett and Kurt Rosenwinkel, and inspiration from Japanese Jazz, Afro-Cuban and many other genres from around the world, leads to a rich cultural mixing pot for the listener to enjoy. Oppgard will be bringing a duo to this event – Jess Moore and Per Fossheim.
The band has appeared at various venues on the Leeds Jazz scene, with other notable performances including a support act performance before Vasilis Xenopoulos & Paul Edis Quartet for Live @ Union Lane (Brampton) and multiple appearances at the Cockermouth Live! Festival.
The Jam’d Jazz Quartet is supporting, with a lineup of Jude (Drums), Anna (Sax), Max (Bass&Guitar) and Dan (Piano&Vox)
