Trish Clowes
“Everything Clowes does has an invigorating purposefulness”
The Telegraph
Described as “one of the most agile and original jugglers of improv and adventurous composition to have appeared in the UK in recent times” multi-award winning saxophonist and composer Trish Clowes has developed into one of the most exciting artists on the jazz scene today. A Peter Whittingham Development Award winner and a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Trish was nominated for a British Composer Award (BASCA) in 2013, going on to win it in 2015 for her BBC commission “The Fox and the Chestnut”. Her current quartet, My Iris, is widely recognized as in the vanguard of British jazz, and Trish’s last two albums, the eponymous “My Iris” and their latest “Ninety Degrees Gravity” have been rapturously received, establishing her as an artist of considerable stature. For this 606 appearance Trish has put together a remarkable quartet featuring three of the finest musicians on their instruments in Europe, Mike Outram-guitar, Calum Gourlay-bass & Winston Clifford-drums. A very rare chance to hear this unique band.
