JITR JANUARY: QOW Trio | Sultan Stevenson
The Cockpit Theatre, NW8 8EH , [Venue Details]QOW TRIO is a generation-spanning trio of diverse players who’ve come together, united by a love of the tradition, to explore the freedom that opens up within the three-way saxophone-bass-drums format.
The QOW TRIO debut album, recorded live across a single charged afternoon, captures the spontaneous interplay that’s always been at the heart of jazz: in it you will hear echoes of prohibition era Kansas City swing, the kinetic rush of 52nd Street bebop, the untrammelled freedom of the Manhattan loft scene, and more. Together QOW TRIO’s playing experience encompasses a span of sixty years across three generations
Pianist Sultan Stevenson is one of the fastest emerging young artists on the London jazz scene. His trio is already established as an outfit to catch when billed to play live and is being tipped for success on national and international stages. His approach to composition and playing has already been compared to that of McCoy Tyner and Esbjörn Svensson and, over the past year, his Trio has played standout gigs at Jazz re:freshed, the Vortex and the Jazz Café where the band opened for the great Billy Cobham. Their Pizza Express gig during the 2021 EFG London Jazz Festival was a sell-out.
