And The Odd Orchestra

“I used to walk up and down the streets every day - craving sights, sensations, encounters with people…experience.” That was 1994, when RAZ OHARA was 18 & had just moved to Berlin. He soon found a room to rent above a jazz club. He sat there every night, listening to the music, watching the people, absorbing his surroundings.
It was a seedy, noirish world, like something from the American movies of the 80’s. Raz, however, had a lingering and persistent desire to create his very own music, music of its own kind, music beyond any existing genre.
At around the same time Raz started to make his first live appearances. He got to know Dr. PHELBS and ROBERT DEFCON (NO UNDERGROUND) and a Canadian guy called WOLF (aka CHILLY GONZALEZ). Every Wednesday night for almost 2 years, they, “The Nightline City Cruisers”, would play improvised performances – Robert supplied the beats, Phelbs played bass, Wolf took care of keys and Raz sang.
Some years passed by just like that. He did numerous dance tracks & albums on different labels, sang on numerous productions of notable colleagues. Now Raz has picked up the guitar and penned some sublime, gorgeous heartfelt songs, the resulting album is ‘Raz Ohara and the Odd Orchestra’.
