Session Work Testimonials
“Ollie has featured on 3 Ambient Jazz Ensemble Albums & brings a wealth of experience & versatility to the studio sessions. Never phased by the variety of styles & timbres he is asked to contribute, Ollie covers everything from detailed textural multiple wind parts to inspired tenor & soprano improvisation.
From a producers point of view it's always a pleasure to work with Ollie who combines great musicianship with an understanding of the technical sonic detail required to acheive the desired sound & result. He has become a hugely important part of the AJE collective & and a ‘go to’ player for sax sessions..”
Colin Baldry - Ambient Jazz Ensemble
Ollie and I have worked together on various projects and he has always been a total professional. When working remotely, he has provided a super quick turnaround with great sound and tone on all saxes.
In the studio he is great to have around. Friendly, creative and on it!
Julian Hinton - Producer
“I’ve worked with Ollie on a variety of sessions encompassing film scores and production music, in my studio and also, more recently, remotely. He understands intuitively what I’m looking for and delivers great-sounding and inspiring results. More importantly, he’s a lovely bloke who you can talk about cricket with..”
Tom Kane - Film Composer
In both my studio recordings and in live work, I’ve always found Ollie to be a supreme professional and a musician that totally understands what the writer/artist is trying to convey and has never failed to deliver.
Owen Paul - Singer/songwriter
“We gave Ollie a brief to improvise a clarinet part for a folk/jazz song. The song is complex and has many layers and key and tempo changes. Ollie recorded these parts remotely and sent us through a number of options. He went above and beyond to record a bass clarinet line as well, all of which we sent well within schedule.
As album producer and recording engineer, I couldn’t fault the quality of Ollie’s recordings. The standard of playing was second to none and his improvisations were just what we were looking for. He was very accommodating when we suggested a couple of minor revisions to complement his already brilliant playing, and once again sent these through to us in a timely manner.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ollie’s services to my peers and colleagues, and hope to work with him again in the future.
Tom Doughty - Never Ever Media
