Neil Cowley Trio

Think punk’s energy with the grace of Billy Elliot. Throw in some rock dynamics and some funk and you’ll come somewhere close to the Neil Cowley Trio.

As a ten year old child prodigy, Neil Cowley performed a Shostakovich piano concerto to a full house at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall. He didn’t like it.

Detouring through the world of pop (which he also didn’t like) and then electronica (didn’t like that either), he came out the other side of that experience, found Richard Sadler and Evan Jenkins and realised his long-standing dream of forming a jazz trio.

That trio was destined to become only the most important British jazz act around today!

The Neil Cowley Trio has a reputation for turning jazz-haters into jazz lovers with their uniquely blended jazz. Add to this Cowley’s often hilarious and always amusing banter with audiences and you have a completely irresistible mix that demands attention with its energy and adventurous eclecticism.

Neil Cowley (piano), Richard Sadler (double bass) and Evan Jenkins (drums)
