Pete Oxley Guitar
United Kingdom
Приєднався 22 тра 2020
Pete Oxley is a guitarist, bandleader and composer of mainly jazz-related music. He would explain that coming from a background of classical music, prog rock, and then, from his late twenties, a love of jazz - much from the ECM stable and ‘world’ influences - that his music is something of a meld of all these influences. He has written for many ensembles over the years and has had his pieces played on National radio, TV and performed by his various projects and by others.
Notable outlets for his writing would include his Paris-based band, The New Noakes Quartet, His 5-piece band Curious Paradise and latterly, the Oxley-Meier Guitar Project and Hejira, celebrating the music of Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell's 'Free Man In Paris' – performed by Hejira
Joni Mitchell's hit song, 'Free Man In Paris', performed by the U.K. band 'Hejira', released to coincide with the Paris Olympic Games, 2024.
Joni Mitchell recorded this on 'Court & Spark', then later on 'Shadows and Light' - the great band featuring Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Michael Brecker, Jaco Pastorius and Don Alias. This version was also recorded live by Hejira at the Cockpit in November 2023, as part of the EFG London Jazz festival.
The entire gig was superbly recorded and is available on CD and LSL formats here: spinjazz.com/shop
Hejira are touring extensively throughout the U.K. in the autumn of 2024 - and there will be plenty of dates in 2025.
