Jamie Oehlers is a forerunner of such talent, and now with new musical innovation, is part of an exciting new group of not so new (and equally as talented), players from the happening jazz-scene in Perth.

MoE represents the expansion of influences and the music moving on into new territories while having a memory of the fundamental elements of the jazz tradition. All respected and noted soloists in their own right – they here come together mostly to avoid that!

This is a group that moves away from traditional roles of ensembles its size, and chooses instead to focus on exploring ensemble interplay and the intensity of group dynamic.
