Meet the Board: Oblique Arts Ensemble

Oblique Arts Ensemble was founded by bassist Markus Hunt upon moving to Denver in 2014. The Syntax lineup features Rent Romus,who swings like hell and fire, on saxophones and Ryan Seward on drums. The group will present loosely crafted compositions and explore spontaneous inventions deeply rooted in the avant-jazz idiom. Hunt has previously recorded two CDs with Romus Lifes Blood Ensemble, garnering praise from Down Beat for their bold sound, unmistakable sincerity and conviction.
