| Profile: Weingarten Oster Manring | |
The legendary partnership of Carl Weingarten (guitar), Jeff Oster (horns) and Michael Manring (bass) expresses itself in a sonic tapestry rich with possibility and meaning. Their music is a blend of folk, jazz and blues, with world fusion, contemporary electronica and progressive space. Finding new and creative ways to share their warm sound this trio is at the leading edge of experimental contemporary instrumental music. |
 | Carl Weingarten is a composer, producer and slide guitarist. His music is a blend of styles, combining traditional folk, jazz and blues, with world fusion, modern electronic, space and progressive sounds. A musician with a filmmaker's ear, his sound has been described as evocative and cinematic. |
| As one of the few trumpet/flugelhorn artists working in ambient terrain, Jeff Oster draws from a rich background of classically trained, jazz tinged horn study, mixed with contemporary electronica and loop based electro-orchestral bed tracks. |  |
| Michael Manring has developed an entirely new approach to the bass guitar that includes unorthodox tunings, techniques and methodologies. His skills have been honed on over a hundred recordings as a session musician and thousands of concerts throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. |
