The Oliver Mayman Quintet
Oliver Mayman, vibraphonist and pianist from Ann Arbor and Temple University student, played at Detroit’s Cliff Bell’s on Sunday, July 25, with shows at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. He blends jazz piano influences into his vibraphone performance, offering two separate sets that night.
Oliver Mayman is a vibraphonist, pianist, educator, and composer who grew up in Ann Arbor and now studies at Temple University in Philadelphia. Starting drums at 9 and piano at 13, he discovered the vibraphone as a teen, which combines the rhythmic feel of drums with the harmonic range of piano. Drawing on influences like Ethan Iverson, Thelonious Monk, and Oscar Peterson, he treats the vibraphone like a piano, fluid in formats from solo to big band. He’s performed across Michigan and Pennsylvania, including big clubs and the Detroit Jazz Festival. The concert at Cliff Bell’s featured two sets at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m., with a $10 cover charge.
