   About Oli Rockberger
Myspace Layout Generator
..

"..a repertoire riplling with hip pop and R&B harmonies laced with jazz devices...Oli Rockberger's as much of a slam-dunk talent as any artist I've ever reviewed or interviewed..." ALL ABOUT JAZZ, Phil DiPietro

"Powerful and melodic, crossover jazz singer-songwriter who mixes savvy jazz licks with improvisatory flair and genuinely catchy tunes - bucking the trend set by lesser radio-friendly, jazz-influenced singers..." TIME OUT (London)

"...gifted British treasure brings such jazz integrity to essentially a rock repertoire. A talented songwriter yes, but his sensational piano playing will knock your socks off..." JAZZ UK, Chrissie Murray


This NYC based (London born) Pianist and Singer/Songwriter won a Full Tuition Scholarship to attend Berklee at the tender age of 19, and has since appeared at an array of top international venues and festivals as a leader and sideman with highlights including: Brecon International Jazz Festival, The Jazz Cafe, The London Jazz Festival (UK), The Barcelona Jazz Festival (Spain), The Open Jazz Festival (Slovakia), US Embassy Sponsored Ecuador Tour ('04 and '05), The Lincoln Center, The Blue Note, BAM, Iridium (NYC), The Cotton Club, The Phoenix Jazz Festival (Japan), The Penang Jazz Festival (KL) and the The John Mayer Craft Carrier Cruise (Bahamas).

As a sideman, Oli has already worked with many world class musical artists spanning generations and musical styles in Les McCann, Mocean Worker, Common & Queen Latifa, Frank McComb & Branford Marsalis, Abe Laboriel, Bob Reynolds & David Ryan Harris, Hiram Bullock, Randy Brecker, Dave Fiuczynski, Gregoire Maret, Tony Grey Project, Zach Danziger, Michael Olatuja Group feat. Ty & Terri Walker, Hiromi, Janek Gwizdala Group, Chris "daddy" Dave, JoJo Mayer, Marc Sway, Ada Rovatti, Christian Howes, Marlon Saunders, Jason Eskridge & Antonio Hart, Jackie De Shannon, John Shannon, Cariad Harmon, James Maddock, Bembesegue, Zarif, Michelle Escoffery and numerous others.

Production credits include Tony Grey's critically acclaimed “Chasing Shadows” (Abstract Logix/Universal) and Cariad Harmon's "Four Letters" (Mowo Inc/Warner) which recently received a 3 star review in Rolling Stone.

Oli is currently working on a number of exciting projects including a new solo album, and a collaborative record with prodigious drummer/producer Zach Danziger. Oli maintains a busy performing schedule in the US and abroad, posted in full on this page.

You can purchase Oli's two indi albums "Hush Now Special Edition" and "The Oli Rockberger Band" on iTUNES, www.cdbaby.com.
