Zurich Jazz Orchestra Feat. Ola Onabulé (voc) at Moods

About

If little more than a year passes before the ZJO invites a guest for the second time, the premiere must have been a complete success: In November 2022, British-Nigerian vocalist and songwriter Ola Onabulé performed with the ZJO for the first time. He is a virtuoso, self-effacing singer and a lyricist with today's world in mind and history in the back of his mind. The themes of his songs hardly leave anything out, from basic human love of life to political issues. In doing so, he refrains from stereotyping, which makes his work more elaborate, but his songs all the more authentic.
