OZMA's Jazz means energy and openness, freedom of swing music and effectiveness of rock - within groovy compositions and a formidable team spirit.
Colorful, explosive, exciting and allways generous, the band OZMA lays between a mutant band and a jungle of sound. It is a group of nowadays, defending its creative and eclectic music with heart.
Blowing riffs, counterpoints, explosive sounds... Thanks to the originality of their music and a perpetual risk-taking, their shows can seduce an advised expert and also catch curious neophytes. The artistic direction developed in the quartet is plural, reflecting the different spheres of influence of its musicians.
