Late Night Jazz: SHOLTO at Royal Albert Hall

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.
