The musical history of British soul and neo soul pioneer Omar is renowned. He is considered to be one of the greatest soul music talents the United Kingdom has produced in the last 40 years.
QCBA is all about contemporary music, influenced by the great Blue Note era of the 1960s. When QCBA team up with Omar, they deliver a mesmerising blend of soul-funk infused music which they’ve done consistently for more than a decade.
OMAR + QCBA's Live At Last, recorded in May 2021 at The Jazz Cafe, is out now via Ubuntu Music and will mark the release with a launch gig on 31 March 2022 at The Jazz Cafe in Camden, London.
