Live jazz from the Fisher|Fowler|Frost Trio as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival 2023
Luke Fowler (double bass), Matt Fisher (percussion) and Elliot Frost (guitar) are three jazz musicians collaborating together, exploring folk/jazz crossover music from parts of the world such as Israel, Brazil, the US and the UK. The trio perform a mix of originals and songs from other composers, particularly Shai Maestro and Avishai Cohen.
The trio initially performed together as members of the Bulgarian-folk tinged jazz group The David Dower trio who toured Bulgaria in 2019 and 2022. Since then, they have been playing together regularly and working on learning repertoire from different parts of the world, applying musical devices from other cultures to their own musical vocabulary.
Aside from their work together, the three are well established jazz musicians in their own right.
Fowler, former owner/manager of The Junction, has been a stalwart bass player in the London jazz scene for over ten years and is often seen performing with Dave O'Higgins, Art Themen and Alex Garnett.
Fisher is a sought after drummer and percussionist based in London. Matt has performed and collaborated with some the UK's most prominent musicians such as; Tina May, Jacqui Dankworth, Najma Akhtar, Nikki Illes, Steve Waterman, Anita Wardell and Christine Tobin. Working in a variety of styles from pop and rock, to jazz and orchestral, Matt has toured and performed around the world including: India, USA, Morocco, Mexico and across Europe. Matt is endorsed by Kandu Percussion.
Frost moved to London in 2019, and since then has performed as both leader and a sideman at venues such as The Vortex, Ronnie Scotts and Hampstead Jazz Club. His debut album New Surroundings, featuring Jonathan Chung, Calum Gourlay and Corrie Dick, is to be released on the AMP Music & Records label on the 5th of May.
