Neil Cowley Trio

The Neil Cowley Trio reunite to perform their first live show together in 7 years. They present music from their outstanding brand-new album, Entity, alongside some fan-favourite Cowley classics.

In 2006 the Neil Cowley Trio burst onto the scene with an exciting sound that fizzed with energy; their muscular anthems, galloping grooves and tender moments placed them at the forefront of a new movement in jazz, paving the way for 6 highly acclaimed albums over 10 years. Pianist and composer Neil Cowley then pressed ‘pause’ to pursue a solo career – no less successful – taking in neo classical composition and electronica.

Now, stirred by his extended time of solitary music making, he makes a firm statement about the joy, comfort and the rewards of human connection in the digital age. Joining Cowley are his close musical allies, bassist Rex Horan and drummer Evan Jenkins; three friends giving their all to each other, metaphorically dancing together.

Cowley is a brilliant composer and dazzling pianist and the trio flame still burns bright. Entity is neither a return nor a departure from the Neil Cowley Trio sound. It is the Neil Cowley Trio sound, with the finger lifted from the pause button. It is a magnificent return to form cementing the ‘Neil Cowley Trio sound’- head-nodding wonky grooves, killer melodies, emotionally charged pieces with a glass like fragility laced throughout.

Expect a powerful performance of deeply impassioned music and hooks aplenty with Cowley’s infectious wit and playfulness never far behind.
