About this Event
Neil Cowley Trio | Unpausing of the Pause
The Neil Cowley Trio reunite to perform their first live shows together in 7 years. Discover music from their outstanding 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.
