Gala Lunchtime Concert Series (May

Described as ‘one of the leading lights in contemporary jazz’, Paul Edis is a natural melodist who finds the emotional resonance of every note.

Rooted in the straight-ahead swinging tradition, his music has been played on the radio in the UK, US and Europe.Edis moved to London in 2020 after over 15 years based in the North East, where he established his first trio and sextet.

He recorded various albums under his own name, with both his sextet and trio, before making the move South.He’s since established a new piano trio and regularly works with the most in demand drummers and bass players on the UK scene.

For this gig he’ll be performing alongside virtuosos Andy Champion (double bass) and Steve Hanley (drums).
