Tom Cawley
“Cawley…excellent, fluid, pianist with a deft touch and a superb improviser’s imagination.”
Time Magazine
A former “Young Jazz Musician of the Year” pianist Tom Cawley is one of the country’s leading jazz artists. His mature playing and fluent technique have made him the pianist of choice for many musicians, including Charlie Watts, Tim Garland, Dave O’Higgins, singers Gwyneth Herbert & Tammy Weis and saxophonist Pete Wareham’s award-winning “Acoustic Ladyland”. Tom’s trio, “Curios”, garnered a string of Awards and plaudits (“spellbinding” Independent, “dazzling” Jazz UK, “pioneering” Musician magazine), was the first band to be asked to perform at the newly refurbished Royal Festival Hall, appeared on the “Culture Show”, made numerous live Radio 3 broadcasts and were featured on the covers of both Jazz UK and Jazzwise. A class act and an absolute must see. Tom's band features the Parliamentary Jazz-award-winning flautist, arranger and composer Gareth Lockrane (also known for his work with James Taylor & Bheki Mseleku), along with Freddie Jensen-bass and Luca Caruso-drums.
