Trish Clowes ft John Parricelli

Described as “one of the most agile and original jugglers of improv and...composition”, Award-winning saxophonist/composer Trish Clowes has proven herself to be an exciting, world-class, musician of real creativity and skill.

A former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist she received the British Composer Award (BASCA) in 2015 with notable performances including the Barbican, Rochester International Jazz Festival (US), Royal Festival Hall & Wigmore Hall.

With numerous critically acclaimed albums as leader to her name Trish is also a highly respected composer with commissions from the likes of the BBC Concert Orchestra, NDR Big Band (Germany) and the London Sinfonietta.

For this show Trish is excited to be featuring one of the great UK jazz guitarists John Parricelli (Loose Tubes, Kenny Wheeler, Norma Winstone).

Remarkably this is the first time these two wonderful musicians have actually performed together so Trish is organising something a bit special to mark this new partnership.

Expect joyous, exciting, music from originals to Jazz standards performed at the very highest level.“Clowes...bristles with uncommon genius” JazzDaGama; “an improviser to be reckoned with” Downbeat; “Parricelli seems capable of endless feats of subtlety and control.

Having Parricelli in the band is like having several world class musicians, all in the one chair.” UK Jazz News
