From the humble Sunday school rooms of Alyth Synagogue to the world-renowned stages of London, drummer Ollie Usiskin has spent three decades at the heart of the UK jazz scene.
Fresh off a four-star review in JazzWise Magazine, Ollie returns to his roots for a homecoming concert, bridging soulful Klezmer energy with modern jazz standards.
Joined by his long-standing quartet -- Dirk Vetter (sax), Aled Thomas (piano), and Rob Statham (bass) -- the evening promises a rich tapestry of Klezmer gems, reimagined standards, and high-energy improvisation.
Beyond the jazz world, Ollie is celebrated for his unique collaboration with the legendary actor Sir Christopher Lee, performing on the Lord of the Rings star's Charlemagne albums.
