Oxide is the second album from Auckland-based jazz trio, Samsom Nacey Haines, an entirely self-penned set of very fine New Zealand jazz. Their debut, Open to Suggestions, was very well received critically and commercially. This new album features material from all members of the trio, but the dominant compositional voice is Dixon's. There is impressive melodic, harmonic and rhythmic subtlety in the writing that is sure to reward the attentive listener. The intuitive dialogue between the players is compelling. The keen sense of a shared language and intuition is never exclusive or unwelcoming.

Oxide will appeal to listeners with an appreciation for the beauty and joy found in the very best jazz.

"Auckland's Rattle label – which has an unimpeachable track record in releasing beautifully produced, impressively packaged, often award-winning contemporary classical and elsewhere albums – now makes a serious foray into jazz..."
– Graham Reid, Elsewhere
