LEE OSKAR by LEE OSKAR

Pop-jazz and instrumental pop/R&B from Lee Oskar's self-titled compilation made a pleasant beginning to his solo career. The harmonica musician, who was born in Denmark, went on to have two careers: one as a solo artist and one as a member of War. Oskar's decision to stay with the hugely popular War was a wise one, as his instrumental solo albums tended toward the esoteric and lacked the commercial appeal of War. This album was not a big sale; rather, it was more of a creative than a commercial success.
