One foot in the liberty of jazz, the other in electro's trance, both hands covered in greasy rock, the energizing quintet OZMA is back with it’s new album Welcome Home.
The narration of this new opus is meteoric, authoritative, full of determined grooves, rocky eclecticism, harmonious melodies, sweet and spicy chills and headnodding beats.

OZMA's sixth album "Welcome Home" EPK (2016 - Cristal Records / Harmonia Mundi)
WELCOME HOME, is the whole class and casualness of five bold guys with flawless technique. A good dose of humor and emotion, tight and nervous melodies, pop anthems, formidable grooves, wild growls, blown confidences, pesty riffs, energy to spare, devilish jousting, counterpoints, dreamlike lands and sound explosions.
OZMA ‘s WELCOME HOME is the actual jazz sound, free, effective, fed from all musical styles, a compendium of all that music can offer, the "Ozmical" sound !
FRENCH :
"Depuis leurs débuts, OZMA nous fait voyager. On pense à un Coltrane invité en guest d’un Rage Against The Machine, à un Ray Anderson "jamant" avec Radiohead, ou encore à un Frisell s’accoquinant aux meilleurs fanfares de la Nouvelle Orléans. Car l’improbable est l’essence d’OZMA ; une mixture généreuse, créative, jubilatoire, excitante et surtout aventureuse, risquée et captivante, autant pour les connaisseurs avisés que les néophytes curieux."
A la plume, le batteur Stéphane Scharlé et le bassiste Edouard Séro-Guillaume livrent des mélodies serrées et nerveuses auxquelles font échos des hymnes pop et des grooves redoutables. De leurs partitions aux formes riches s’échappent des improvisations en duo, trio ou en tutti, habitées des feulements sauvages du trombone de Guillaume Nuss et du saxophone de Julien Soro, des confidences soufflées par la guitare de Tam de Villiers, le tout pulsé par un réacteur à groove, ce basse - batterie complice de dix ans de tournées à travers le monde.
Par moments apaisants, par moments puissants, ces cinq jazzmen chevronnés mettent leurs sens du drame et du timing au service d’une musique neuve et narrative. Oscillant entre risque et tradition, entre culot et amour du son, OZMA présente un 5ème album très revigorant."
