Peter Edwards Trio
Thursday 20 May
The Spice of Life, Moor Street, Soho
Start time: 8pm Tickets: £10, £8 MU & Students
Pianist Peter Edwards kicks off the Dune 'Most Exciting New Writers & Arrangers in British Jazz' series, with his new trio featuring Nick Walsh on bass and Saleem Raman on drums.
Peter creates dynamic compositions, which skillfully combine shifting time feels and impressionistic melodic lyricism. He completed a Masters in Jazz at Trinty College of Music in 2009 and is a product of the Tomorrow's Warriors artistic development programme for young jazz musicians. He has recorded with the Abram Wilson Quartet on the recently released album ‘Life Paintings’ and spent autumn and spring on tour with the band playing throughout the UK. He accompanies and arranges music for vocalists Nicola Emmanuelle and Zara McFarlane and is currently collaborating with poet Lemn Sissay and Bassist Gary Crosby on a project that re-examines the relationship of poetry and music. Peter is also musical director of the newly formed Tomorrow’s Warriors Jazz Orchestra, and his most recent project has been to recreate Duke Ellington’s masterpiece, ‘The Queen’s Suite. He went on to write his own suite ‘Above and Beyond the Horizon’ for TWJO. Both works were performed at Queen Elizabeth Hall in July 2009. Peter is also a member of Rhythmica, and his compositions 'Solace' and 'Anthem' are featured on their forthcoming album.
