Presented by Creative Music Works

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’ Life’s Blood Ensemble, garnering praise from Down Beat for their “bold sound, unmistakeable sincerity and conviction.”

This marks the second installment of our Meet the Board Series concerts which are curated by – and sometimes include – a current Creative Music Works board member.
