Tom Green Septet
Thursday 21st May 2015
"A poised and nuanced improviser… This medium-sized band manages to sound like a big one, and Tom Green sounds like an even bigger prospect." - The Guardian
Winner of the 2013 Dankworth Prize for Jazz Composition, Tom Green is a trombonist, composer and arranger described as "a new rising star in the British jazz scene" by Nigel Williams (Jazz FM). Frequently mentioned in Jazzwise magazine as ‘one to watch’, Tom is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music jazz course, and tends to grace the stage at the usual list of London’s leading jazz venues ie Ronnie Scott's, the Vortex and 606 Club, but you might have caught him at the Montreux, Toronto and Montreal Jazz Festivals in the last couple of years. The group released their debut album, Skyline, in February 2015 to much acclaim in the jazz press.
As a leader and sideman Tom has performed alongside musicians such as Iain Ballamy, Gareth Lockrane, Steve Waterman, Kit Downes, Issie Barratt and Mike Gibbs.
An extremely exciting, compelling band. Be there!!!!
