Looking forward to playing this 10 date tour with my UK/Japan trio. The trio features the versatile and sympathetic bass playing of Mao Yamada, and the one of a kind powerhouse that is Yasuhiro Yoshigaki on drums. We’ll pick up where we left off in Tokyo, and visit trusted friends and venues across the two … Japan Tour 2024

I’ve been looking for a way to acknowledge the tectonic shift in solo piano improvising that the Koln concert represents. On the anniversary of Keith Jarrett’s Koln concert (24th January 1975), I like to remind myself of this awesome event, its impact on me, and countless others. Since 2015, I’ve been doing this, by performing … New project, Köln Conversations

“Mr Gershwin, music is music” – Alban Berg to George Gershwin But when is music “Music”? Perhaps it would be best not to aim so high and be content with just making music (so to speak). Nevertheless I am keen to find the right balance between the formal/informal (or art/popular) when performing or indeed practicing … Interpretations, Renditions and Improvisations

I’m very much looking forward to playing in Australia and Japan with artist Tim Maguire and bassist Mao Yamada in November 2017. We’ll be playing at Tim’s show in Newcastle, Beppu Art Month in Japan, as well as other dates in both countries.

Looking forward to presenting my collaboration with visual artist Tim Maguire. We’ve made a DVD featuring his video art and my solo piano improvisations. This is my first solo piano recording since 2002, and so I’m supposed to say what is ‘new’ and ‘different’ about this recording in comparison. Perhaps talk about how I’ve been … Launching To The Surface at the London Jazz Festival 2015
