OMAR + QCBA

Omar Lye-Fook MBE is, without a doubt, one of the greatest soul music talents the United Kingdom has produced in the last 40 years. He has collaborated with Stevie Wonder, the late Leon Ware, Erykah Badu, Common, Carleen Anderson, D’Angelo, Soul II Soul’s Caron Wheeler, Angie Stone and Courtney Pine.

Omar teams up with QCBA, featuring the outstanding trumpet player Quentin Collins and dynamic saxophonist Brandon Allen for an intoxicating musical cocktail of jazz, R&B, funk and soul.

QCBA are an organ driven quartet known for their funky and contemporary original music. Influenced by the great Blue Note era of the 60s, they’ve taken the jazz scene by storm with their eclectic music and collaborations.

Completing the line-up are the masterful Ross Stanley (organ) and Ian Thomas (drums).

When QCBA team up with Omar, they deliver an explosion of soul-funk infused music.

'The mix of Latin stylings, funk rhythms and soulful lyrics, paired with the jazz masters that are QCBA, 
made for an evening of high-class entertainment'.
