Simon Oslender - All That Matters (2024) [Official Digital Download]

Simon Oslender must have thought of this dictum when he said goodbye to Steve Gadd after three unforgettable days in the studio with the legendary drummer as well as Eddie Gomez, Ronnie Cuber and the WDR Big Band in early 2022, recording the Grammy-nominated album CENTER STAGE (Leopard D 77107). You always meet twice in life - the pianist, keyboardist and organist was also hoping so in 2021 when he recorded his second solo album with another legend, bassist Will Lee (PEACE OF MIND, Leopard D 77110). Two American giants of the studio scene - musical innovators who have both accompanied all the greats of R&B, pop, soul, funk, blues and jazz on countless records - and countless times side by side, together. Now that old saying is proving true once again. Simon Oslender, 26 years of age, has met Steve Gadd and Will Lee once again - for his third album as a leader, ALL THAT MATTERS. The title says it all: Steve emphasized it again and again: 'It's all about the feel, it's all about the groove'. That's all that matters, it just has to feel good. And it does. ALL THAT MATTERS offers everything that is musically most important to Oslender - and picks up on what his roots are: R&B, blues, soul, gospel and funk.
