John Law

The Art of Sound
Category: Barnstaple Fringe

Starts: Sunday, June 01, 2008

 

Prize winning pianist John Law’s new trio features the in-demand and much-travelled bass player Sam Burgess and, from Gilad Atzmon's group, the world-class drummer Asaf Sirkis.

Law has moved easily from classical music to jazz, inviting comparisons with Brad Mehldau's approach.

A free-jazz and contemporary-classical explorer, Law's spontaneous virtuosity combined with the skills of his partners offer many options. As well as being a formidable thematic improviser, Law writes beautiful romantic ballads that are distinctly his own.

The trio have wowed audiences across the U.K at the Glastonbury festival and the Vortex, London, and their debut album is receiving outstanding reviews.
