Still just 26 years of age, Gwilym Simcock is one of the most gifted pianists and imaginative composers working on the British scene. Able to move effortlessly between jazz and classical music, he can at times inhabit both worlds and has been described as being stylistically reminiscent of Keith Jarrett, complete with ‘harmonic sophistication and subtle dovetailing of musical traditions’ as well as being a pianist of ‘exceptional’, ‘brilliant’ and ‘dazzling’ ability. A previous winner of the Perrier Award and BBC Jazz Awards, he was voted Jazz Musician of the Year at the 2007 Parliamentary Jazz Awards and has been nominated for an RPS Music Award 2008.

“a jaw-droppingly exciting pianist”
