- Oriole (band)
-
Oriole are a London based band fusing lyrical world music with jazz spontaneity, who create an aural form of Magical Realism.[1] Oriole's members consist of many of the most well established figures in the new British Jazz scene[2] and are perhaps one of the few groups to feature two Mercury nominated artists: Ben Davis on cello and Seb Rochford on drums.[3] They have also released two albums on the F-IRE Collective label. The music of Oriole is composed by prolific guitarist Jonny Phillips.[4]
