Julie O'Hara Sextet

***NEW RELEASE***

The Julie O'Hara Sextet's new release, 'Use the force', features bebop, vocalese, standards, original compositions and some unique arrangements of contemporary tunes. The band formed in 2007 to present Julie O'Hara's vocalese project, featuring her original lyrics to instrumental compositions and solos by Jazz masters of the 30's, 40's and 50's, including Dizzie Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, Randy Weston, Blue Mitchell, Lee Morgan and many more.

While waiting patiently for record companies to grant permission to record these vocalese versions, the band decided to release a CD featuring a taste of vocalese amongst other compositions that have been performed at gigs and festivals over the past few years.

The album was recorded on one fine day at Newmarket studios by engineer, Ben Hurt, who Julie worked with when recording Papermoon and Midnight Sun with Sydney violinist and vocalist, George Washingmachine.
