Ton Cawley Featuring Freddie Gavita

A former “Young Jazz Musician of the Year” pianist Tom Cawley has gone on to establish himself as one of the country’s leading jazz musicians. He has played at the Blue Note Club in New York, Ronnie Scott’s in London, the Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Purcell Room and appeared at festivals worldwide. His mature playing and fluent technique have made him the pianist of choice for many players, including Charlie Watts, Tim Garland, Dave O’Higgins, singer Gwyneth Herbert and saxophonist Pete Wareham’s award-winning “Acoustic Ladyland”. His trio, “Curios”, has garnered a string of Awards and plaudits, “spellbinding” Independent, “dazzling” Jazz UK, “pioneering” Musician magazine, was the first band to be asked to perform at the newly refurbished Royal Festival Hall, appeared on the “Culture Show”, made numerous live Radio 3 broadcasts and were featured on the covers of both Jazz UK and Jazzwise. Tonight Tom will be appearing with his quartet featuring the multi-award winning rising trumpet star Freddie Gavita. A world class band and an absolute must see. “Cawley…excellent, fluid, pianist with a deft touch and a superb improviser’s imagination.” Time; “Gavita....a talented trumpet prodigy" Guardian.
