The Oatmeal Jazz Combo was founded at Stony Brook University in 2009, when a group of friends decided to record an album for fun. The group's name comes from the soundproof practice rooms, which were falling apart so much, that the foam looked like nasty oatmeal peeling off the walls. Since then the members have become geographically dispersed, but still get together periodically, their persistence winning the attention of Downbeat, which profiled them in June, 2013 and reviewed them in May 2015. Seven years later, The Oatmeal Jazz Combo, is proud to be releasing this their fifth studio album "INSTANT OATS."Instant Oats is a varied, energetic program, with strong playing, composing and arranging from the whole team. Each song is different: none feature a stock series of solos from everyone in the band. They showcase a group that is still excited to play together, still learning and growing.The ensemble is Jonathan Saraga - trumpet, Kenjiro Miyagishi – guitar, Steven Carrington – reeds, Andrew McGowan – piano, James Hubbard – trombone, Tristan Eggener – bass, Leon Foster Thomas - steel pan, Leander Young - drums/band leader.The tracks are as follows:Look to the Sky (Explicit)Searching for the TruthShow Cat ValleySpikeyFeel Like Makin' LoveJust Be'cuzPuffyDuetFly CatTransformersA fine coming together of old friends who are not only showing off individual talents here but also coming together as an ensemble with strong communication and the result is an intimate relaxing style.
