Andrew McCormack Trio
The highly acclaimed British pianist Andrew McCormack first captured the attention of the jazz world with the 2006 release of his debut album ‘Telescope’ for which he received the BBC Jazz Award for ‘Rising Star’. Since then he has toured, recorded and collaborated with an impressive array of internationally established musicians, including Randy Brecker, Quincy Jones, Jamie Cullum, Jean Toussaint, Jason Yarde and most recently Kyle Eastwood, which has seen him contribute to the scores and orchestrations of several Clint Eastwood films. Andrew’s 2014 album, ‘First Light’, recorded in New York, earned 5 Stars from BBC Music Magazine while the 2017 eponymous debut of his progressive jazz band ‘Graviton’ was described as "amazing stuff” by Jazz FM. For this performance Andrew will showcase music from his latest release, 'Terra Firma' (Ubuntu), accompanied by two superb players in their own right, bassist Joe Downard and drummer Rod Youngs. With accessible and melodic compositions alongside well known standards including a fresh take on Sting’s 'Fragile', this promises to be a special evening of joyful and virtuosic piano trio interplay.
“McCormack…an extraordinary British pianist and a great composer” Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2
