Formed in the summer of 2019, OSR is a stellar contribution to the San Francisco Bay Area's rich legacy of Brazilian music. Based on the little big band sounds of samba de gafieira, OSR features some of the Bay Area's best jazz and latin jazz musicians including vocalists Catia Machado Lund and Katiana Vilá, Zack Pitt-Smith (reeds), Erik Jekabson, Henry Hung and Ethan Pires (trumpets), Jeff Cressman and Remee Ashley (trombone), Brendan Neutra and Aaron Germain (bass), Dillon Vado and Zach Mondlick (drums). Rooted in acoustic samba, O.S.R. incorporates funk, jazz, forro, bolero and more into its smart and fun arrangements. It's music to dance to, music to listen to.
