Event 27
Gwilym Simcock Trio
Blues Vignette
– Brecon Cathedral
Multi-award-winning pianist Gwilym Simcock returns triumphantly to Brecon with his melodically rich new album Blues Vignette. Introducing his new trio, he offers a mix of stunning improvisations and new original compositions as well as insightful interpretations.
‘Just when you thought the piano could go no further in jazz one emerges to raise the bar of invention and virtuosity still higher. On this recording Gwilym Simcock seems to have breached a dam of inhibition and let loose a flood of music that is truly exhilarating.’ Helen Mayhew, Jazz FM
‘The interaction is consistently stunning, while Simcock’s own playing borders on the sublime at times. Rhythmically flexible, assured whether inside or out, the trio set down a marker that few others are likely to equal.’ ***** Ray Comiskey, The Irish Times
