The Neil Cowley Trio reunite to perform their first live show together in 7 years. They present music from their outstanding brand-new album, ‘Entity’, alongside some familiar Cowley classics.

In 2006 the Neil Cowley Trio burst onto the scene with an exciting sound that fizzed with energy; their muscular anthems, galloping grooves and tender moments placed them at the forefront of a new movement in jazz, paving the way for 6 highly acclaimed albums over 10 years. Cowley then pressed ‘pause’ to pursue a solo career – no less successful - taking in neo classical composition and electronica. Now, stirred by his extended time of solitary music making, he makes a firm statement about the joy, comfort and the rewards of human connection in the digital age. 

Joining Cowley are his close musical allies, bassist Rex Horan and drummer Evan Jenkins; three friends giving their all to each other, metaphorically dancing together. Cowley is a brilliant composer and dazzling pianist and the trio flame still burns bright. ‘Entity’ is a sophisticated, magnificent return to form cementing the ‘Neil Cowley Trio sound’- head-nodding wonky grooves, killer melodies, emotionally charged pieces with a glass like fragility laced throughout. Expect a powerful performance of deeply impassioned music and hooks aplenty with Cowley’s infectious wit and playfulness never far behind.

“The band is back together! After seven years apart, Neil, Rex and Evan have reunited to record ‘Entity.’ The music has the same magic and energy as before. They are still very funny too!”

Nigel Williams, Jazz FM Recommends 2024

“The newly reunited Neil Cowley Trio are a joy to watch. Their passion for the new project shines through and it’s clear they’re all having a blast. They’re back after a 7-year hiatus so this is your chance to experience what is bound to be a very special evening. You’ll be the first to hear the new album live (which is fabulous) and witness friends making music together – it’s a magical thing. A true entertainer, Neil will welcome you to their world, make you laugh between songs and mesmerise you with the music.”
