Neil Cowley Trio The Dark Horse Friday 30 April 8.00pm £8.00 Buy Tickets
Performing Bach piano concertos at the age of 10 and playing keyboards for funk soul acts like Brand New Heavies and Zero 7, Neil Cowley is clearly no ordinary jazz musician.
Formerly with the fabulously named The Green Nuns of the Revolution, Mr Cowley makes a welcome debut at the festival with his trio, featuring bassist Richard Sadler and drummer Evan Jenkins.
Having established a reputation on the live circuit and programmes like Later… the Trio’s hotly-anticipated new album Radio Silence has been described as music for the `heart and feet’.
It shows the Trio at their blistering best, moving effortlessly and eclectically between moments of heart- stopping beauty and rip-roaring rock riffs.
