"my admiration for tom and vin as musical artists is exceeded only by my appreciation of their wry humor. sometimes laughter comes from the deepest places, just like this music."
- jeff oster

“an indescribable alchemy happens when good friends create music together in the moment. words are unnecessary. these musical conversations capture that magic so well."
- vin downes

"we chose a key and one of us began. nothing written, no safety net. the real trick to improvising in a group is not the playing, it's the listening, and these are two of the very best listeners out there."

With a dynamic new age/jazz/prog rock hybrid vibe often whimsically described as “Miles Davis meets Pink Floyd,” Jeff Oster has, since his 2005 award winning full length debut Released, shapeshifted the boundaries and redefined the sonic possibilities of instrumental pop music.

His boundary bursting, accolade filled career reached a dynamic peak in 2017-18 as a member of FLOW, a dynamic ensemble (featuring genre greats Fiona Joy, Lawrence Blatt and legendary Windham Hill founder and guitarist Will Ackerman) whose self-titled collection hit the Top 5 on the Billboard New Age Albums chart and won Album of the Year at the ZMR Awards and Best New Age album at the Independent Music Awards. For the inventive trumpeter and flugelhornist, there was only one way to follow up on this success – Reach!

Smooth as silk and filled with rich soundscapes vibrating with Jeff’s signature chilled out horn playing. It's like spending some time at a late night music club with a jazz band that plies you all night long with some serious laid back grooves. 
Now to set this bad boy to repeat and just zone out.”
