OSCAR JEROME Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Oscar Jerome received plenty of plaudits for his 2020 debut album 'Breathe Deep', a pleasingly accessible and subtly pop-tinged exploration of London's contemporary 'neo-jazz' sound and the influences he shares with many of his peers (in particular Afrobeat). 'The Spoon', his latest full-length, begins with a sliver of hazy ambient jazz and ends with a chunk of sun-soaked, laidback, Afro-influenced nu-jazz. In between, you'll find a wealth of largely relaxed, atmospheric and warming workouts that variously join the dots between modern jazz, R&B, soul, low-slung jazz-funk, hip-hop and the kind of detailed, effortlessly gorgeous soundscapes that defy easy categorization.
