OZMA

Jazz Fusion Crossover
OZMA

OZMA is a supercharged quintet led by drummer Stéphane Scharlé. A music both adventurous and accessible that the group has been able to share through 8 albums, multiple creations and more than 500 concerts on 4 continents.

A key figure in modern French jazz, OZMA has been touring the world for over twenty years. With eight albums and more than 600 concerts across 43 countries on four continents, the quintet champions bold music that blends rock energy, electronic textures, and the freedom of jazz.

Under the direction of drummer Stéphane Scharlé, the Strasbourg-founded group has built a musical universe that is both accessible and adventurous, exploring interdisciplinary dialogues and giving birth to numerous collaborative and multidisciplinary creations that transcend stylistic boundaries.

Their projects include large ensembles with artists from around the world and a strong sensitivity for visual music, with the creation of photo-concerts and film-concerts set to masterpieces of the seventh art.

Each OZMA project reflects a constant desire to push boundaries, explore new artistic territories, and build bridges between cultures and disciplines, offering a universal, vibrant, and resolutely contemporary narrative.
