Né en 1982 à Saint-Lô, Olivier Laisney s'est affirmé comme l'un des plus subtils représentants de son instrument, articulant une culture du Jazz marquée par l'influence de Woody Shaw et des grands trompettistes du hard bop, avec des conceptions résolument contemporaines qu'il explore à la tête de ses projets (Slugged, Yantras...). Mais aussi au sein de différents groupes de la nébuleuse du collectif Onze Heures Onze, ainsi que dans les projets de musiciens de jazz français tels que Magic Malik, Louis Sclavis, Laurent Cugny, Stéphane Payen, Alban Darche, Sylvain Cathala, Sarah Murcia, Gilles Coronado etc.

I compose music and perform it with a variety of crazy New York jazz musicians.
