As well as performing original tunes in his own groups over more than a decade of experience as a bandleader, Umar’s compositions have been heard on Radio New Zealand, at the Michael Fowler Centre in Wellington and in the Christchurch Town Hall. In 2021 the Wellington Jazz Festival premiered his latest massive project, the Sun Song Suites: a 3-hour epic performed across 4 concerts throughout the day.

Having developed a reputation for emotionally stirring performances, Umar now seeks to share heartfelt original music with audiences across New Zealand and internationally, in order to spread a message of courage and unity through the powerful sound of the double bass.

For this special concert at St. Andrew's on The Terrace in Wellington, Umar will be joined by his trio with pianist Duncan Haynes and drummer Shaun Anderson, with sound and technical support provided by Mike Duffy, for a night of inspired and spontaneous musical improvisations.
