Barry Green Trio
“…Green’s work can be both intricate and assertive and is constantly inventive.”
Jazz UK
Barry Green is a wonderful modern jazz pianist whose fluent and melodic playing has made a significant impact on the UK jazz scene. Over the last few years he has performed regularly at the likes of Ronnie Scott’s, Pizza Express Dean Street, The Wigmore Hall, The Purcell Room and The Vortex, as well of course as appearing many times here at the Club. Internationally he has played at clubs and festivals in Spain, Slovenia, Sweden, Norway, Croatia, Turkey, Italy and France. His cv is vast, including work with the likes of Bobby Watson, Charles McPherson, Richie Cole and Us3 as well as with his own trio. For this 606 date Barry has chosen the beautiful playing of up-and-coming saxophonist Sam Braysher and the multi-Award-winning guitarist Colin Oxley (Stacey Kent) to complete the trio. An irresistible combination of superb songs and impeccable musicianship-highly recommended.
“Barry Green…[one] of the best mainstream-to-bop musicians on the UK scene” Guardian; “Colin Oxley…providing rich, subtle harmonies” Guardian; "Braysher’s cool, modernist twist on old songs is just superb" Jazz Journal
