Gwilym is regarded as the UK’s number one jazz pianist and composer, with strong classical overtones. He has many world tours and concerts with The Impossible Gentlemen to his credit. His diverse range is exemplified by his work with full scale orchestras, including one BBC Prom devoted entirely to his music - which makes this concert, something of a major surprise. Only Laurence Cottle a bass virtuoso in his own right could take on the role of Weather Report’s revolutionary titan in this intimate trio setting. And James Maddren, possibly the leading drummer to have appeared in the last few years, completes a remarkable group presenting the music of a major and unique talent, Jaco Pastorius.


Regarded as the UK’s number one jazz pianist and composer, with strong classical overtones Gwilym has many world tours and concerts with Anglo/US supergroup The Impossible Gentlemen to his credit ,as well as work with full scale orchestras, including one BBC Prom devoted entirely to his music. Which makes this concert, first performed at the Pizza Express in Dean St. something of a major surprise. ‘Outside of pianists, Pastorius is my favourite instrumentalist in the history of jazz.’ Only Laurence Cottle a bass virtuoso in his own right could take on the role of Weather Report’s revolutionary titan in this intimate trio setting and James Maddren, possibly the leading drummer to have appeared in the last few years , completes a remarkable group presenting the music of a major and unique talent.
