Birmingham International Piano Festival: Sam Leak Trio

The Sam Leak Trio perform contemporary jazz with a gospel-tinged and folk-inspired, freedom and abandon. Conjuring up the joy and emotion typified by Paul Bley and Keith Jarrett's 1960s trios, the ensemble maintains a sense of the tradition whilst performing music that is very much rooted in the present. Featuring Simon Read on double bass, and Will Glaser on drums, the band perform a mixture of Leak's compositions and some lesser known compositions from their favourite musicians.
