| Biography | OX3 was formed in 2010. With its three classically-trained young musicians Zoë and Reuben Reed Sanderson (keyboard, and bass and vocals) and James Graham (drums), it explores a range of jazz genres from Joe Henderson to Rogers and Hammerstein, helped by Reubens skill at singing while playing fretless bass. The trio has been invited to play in venues such as the Jacqueline du Pre Room in Oxford and Birmingham Town Hall as part of the Music For Youth Festival. The band has received coaching from respected jazz musicians including Pete Oxley, Tim Dawes and Tim Lapthorn. All three musicians have benefitted from jazz and big band training with the county music service and other organisations such as NYJO, National Youth Jazz Collective and Ronnie Scotts youth big band. Having been described as outstandingly accomplished and tasteful in their style, OX3 plays every month in the Hand And Shears Pub in Church Hanborough, Oxfordshire, following the footsteps of Jamie Cullum! |
