About
The debut album from 21-year-old German keyboard phenomenon Simon Oslender. Despite his young age he is already a member of the Bill Evans band, Wolfgang Haffner band and has worked with Randy Brecker. 'About Time' features his regular band plus special guests Evans and Brecker.
The album also includes keyboardist and producer Ricky Peterson, vibraphonist Christopher Dell, guitarist Hanno Busch, percussionist Roland Peil and the vocalists Peter Fessler and Cosmo Klein. This is a brilliant debut that is released at the right time in his career. A large-scale party that moves seamlessly between funk, jazz, fusion, soul, blues and pop.

Oslender impresses throughout: he’s got a great instinct for fusion. The album is not quite essential but thanks to the top-notch musicianship it would make a fine soundtrack to a funk-fuelled summer party – or to have on at that imaginary party in your head if we’re all still in self-isolating, social-distancing lockdown.
