The Owl Ensemble is a seven-piece comprising a string quartet with a jazz trio, blending layers of rhythmic patterns and soaring melodies, described as inventive and subverting classical traditions.
‘Owl’ was has been played on Jazz FM and most recently by Radio Three’s Jazz Line-up. A review in The British Jazz Blog hailed Olivia as a “true innovator… there’s an enormous sense that this album is going to go a long way to filling those nooks and cranny’s in your musical psyche which keep you feeling that you’ve not heard that that ‘perfect sound’ yet.”
