Honoring Tradition

Ola’s versatile sound has taken her through the realms of the world of Jazz which she enjoys to enter in performance, collaboration and to draw from as inspiration for her original compositions.

Ola is active as a Jazz singer, sharing standards once sung by the queens: Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan. She has recorded two albums in the style of Jazz. “L.O.V.E” by her Hong Kong band The Sangels features jazz classics for lovers, and “Hope Sweet” by her Melbourne project Blended Generations is a collection of original compositions that Ola wrote and arranged the music to lyrics by an Australian lyricist Roger Price.

Blended Generations

The Sangels

Based on Roger Price’s poetic lyrics, Hope Sweet presents Life as an optimistic journey. Ola Milena’s carefully crafted music, her thoughtful orchestration and sympathetically selected instrumentation underpin the lyrics. With a studio ensemble of ten talented Melbourne musicians backing Ola’s beautiful vocals, each song rises to impressive sensory heights, making this EP a sound feast not to be missed.

The Sangels is a jazz project of Ola and Farley Sangels. For this recording and many Hong Kong evening concerts, it was expanded into a full band of great local and international musicians including Robin Banerjii, who played guitar for Amy Winehouse. He is featured on “The Man I Love” and “My One And Only Love”.
