Late Night Jazz: SHOLTO

Drummer and producer SHOLTO brings his instrumental grooves to the Elgar Room as part of Late Night Jazz.
London Born Oscar 'SHOLTO' Robertson's music career began in 2013, when a record deal took him to LA, leading to him working with producers like Nick Waterhouse (Allah-Las) before returning to the UK and working with the likes of Inflo (Cleo Sol), and Dan Carey (Wet Leg, Squid). He is also one half of the production/studio duo Sunglasses For Jaws. Working in the studio with artists such as Miles Kane, Katy J Pearson, Spiritualized and many more. Sholto also garnered a name as a live session drummer across genres working with acts such as Confidence Man, Nick Waterhouse, Yak, Sinead O’Brien & Baxter Dury
His writing style is inspired by soundtrack composers from the 1950s-1970s, and he sits alongside soulful widescreen soundtrack contemporaries like The Cinematic Orchestra, Robohands and The Ironsides. 2023’s The Changing Tides Of Dreams introduced listeners to his world of psychedelic-infused, hazy arrangements, drawing on disciplines from the world of film and classical music, as well as jazz and experimental arrangement techniques. His music invites you into a warm array of colours, lush analogue gooeyness , instrumental grooves and a euphoric sentimentality.
