Katz,robin - Oceans For Eros - Vinyl Record

Now available on LP, Oceans for Eros was the debut EP from London-based guitarist and composer Robin Katz, released in October 2024. It features, six works for classical guitar and orchestra, with arrangements by Guy Barker OBE - trumpeter, composer, and one of British jazz's most distinguished arrangers. The record draws on Katz's background spanning art forms, channelling jazz, folk, and classical influences into music of fulsome romantic depth. Mediterranean landscapes, themes of light and darkness, and the quiet optimism of the post-pandemic moment all find their way into compositions built around the textures of the nylon string guitar set against a rich orchestral palette. Praised by Jamie Cullum as "incredibly beautiful... a lost classic," Oceans for Eros remains a striking opening statement from a guitarist set on a path of thought-provoking and wide-ranging creative output to date.
