"One of the big jazz stories of the year" The Guardian
The UK's most exciting new talent, Neil Cowley is a thoroughly modern piano player with an impeccable touch. In 2006 The Neil Cowley Trio released their debut album, Displaced, prompting the Guardian to claim the trio as 'one of the big jazz stories of the year', and The Independent to suggest 'Stardom beckons…' With inspirations as diverse as Shostakovich, Ahmad Jamal, Frank Zappa, Errol Garner, Taraf de Haidouks. Music of energy and emotional infectiousness underpin Cowley's tremendous flair for creating beautiful, sometimes forceful melodies.
