‘Brilliant young pianist’ and composer Paul Edis brings his new piano trio to Hampstead Jazz Club to perform original music and new arrangements of standards, including compositions from his most recent album, ‘The Still Point of the Turning World’.
Rooted in the straight-ahead swinging tradition, but always seeking out and exploring new sounds, nobody sounds quite like him or transports you to the places he travels to with his music. Simultaneously soothing and stirring, rapturous yet relaxed, Edis is a natural melodist who finds the emotional resonance of every note. With an unmistakable style that sounds like the missing link between Bill Evans, Brad Mehldau and Claude Debussy, he plays without a trace of bombast or affectation.
Line-up:
Paul Edis - Piano
