Oli FitzGerald Trio

With their debut album “What Might Have Been” releasing in January 2026, the Oli FitzGerald Trio are a dynamic and innovative jazz ensemble known for their captivating performances and fresh interpretations of both classic and contemporary jazz. Led by bassist, Oli FitzGerald, the trio also features the incredible pianist Chris Outhwaite and the outstanding drummer Ethan Sweeting who are two of the most in demand young musicians today.

The tunes from the new album “What Might Have Been” were influenced by the music of legendary bassist Charlie Haden with some additional influences from Carla Bley and Kit Downes. It mixes contrapuntal music with rhythmic grooves and textures that creates a different soundworld for the listener to be in. After having an appreciation for the classic piano trio’s through history, this music is truly about melody and the beauty this music can bring out.

The chemistry in the band has developed over years of playing together where spontaneous exchanges and dialogues open up the music whether that is conscious or subconscious.

Whenever this band plays, it is all about making great music with depth, control and energy that is executed with elegance. Be sure to check them out or their new album which is available on Bandcamp (Oli FitzGerald) and physical CD!
