About
Makram A.Hosn is a composer and bassist who works mainly out of Beirut, Lebanon. He studied at the Prins Claus Conservatory in Groningen, and nearly a decade after graduating he went back to the Netherlands to play with old and new friends. The Octopus Band is described as Beirut's biggest and most dynamic jazz ensemble. The repertoire is original music and arrangements, written with a group of improvisers in mind. The lineup in this form is large: Michael Murray and Michael Moore on alto sax, Natalio Sued on tenor, Giuseppe Doronzo on baritone, Joan Codina on trombone, James McClure on trumpet, Adrian Moncada on piano, Joao Guerra on drums, and Hosn himself on bass.
