The band will be performing music from its forthcoming second full-length album and will be joined by the experimental jazz group Great Architect from North Carolina. Ombak is “instrumental music for the 21st century, the meeting point of Nirvana, Noise, Tommy Dorsey, dub and mathematics” (Steven Bernstein).
Based in Richmond, VA, Ombak combines the forces of trombonist Bryan Hooten, guitarist Trey Pollard, bassist Cameron Ralston and drummer Brian Jones to create a daring mix of modern improvisation and composition. Ombak’s debut record Framing the Void, has been called “the boiled-down essence of the Richmond improvisational scene” (5 stars, Style Weekly).
Ombak is currently working on its second full-length album at Trey Pollard’s Songwire Studios. Great Architect is a thrilling experimental jazz group from from North Carolina.
“Whether improvising freely or playing pieces with sketched-out themes, they’re vigorously exploratory and keenly disciplined, switching from controlled nuance to wild, blown-out energy and then promptly back again” (Chicago Reader).
Great Architect recently put out a full-length self-titled LP on Kinnikinnik records and will be touring in support of their new 7”, to be released in April.
