The Brussels-based quartet OLA TUNJI gathers around saxophonist Ornella Noulet with a shared passion for the spiritual dimension of jazz. On October 16, the official release date of their first album on WERF Records, they will have the honor of performing at the prestigious 38Riv club to celebrate this release with the audience. Drawing from the legacy of John Coltrane and his contemporaries, their music explores improvisation as both expression and connection. Often transitioning from stripped-back textures to denser passages, their individual voices emerge while remaining integrated into a larger flow. The music feels less like a series of tracks and more like a continuous process. On stage, OLA TUNJI creates an immersive atmosphere akin to a trance: a special experience for the audience.
