About this event
“The whole album is absolutely beautiful” – Nikki Yeoh, Jazz FM
Zoe Rahman presents music from her new album “Hull Suite Live” with her world-class jazz trio, featuring drummer Gene Calderazzo (Pharoah Sanders, Randy Brecker) and bassist Alec Dankworth (Abdullah Ibrahim, Dave Brubeck). The album centres around music from Zoe’s “Hull Suite”, which was commissioned by Hull Jazz Festival for World Piano Day 2024. Based on themes of voyage, migration and the sea and taking inspiration from two statues in Hull, the music is also deeply connected to Zoe’s own family history.
A highly individual pianist and composer, Zoe Rahman’s style is deeply rooted in jazz yet it reflects her classical background, British/Bengali heritage and her very broad musical taste. A MOBO Award winner, Mercury Prize nominee and Ivor Novello Award winner, she has become a highly sought-after musician on the international jazz scene.
Zoe’s compositions encompass a wide palette, with earthy blues influences, soulful melodies and cinematic musical textures that highlight the vibrancy and interaction of this electrifying jazz trio.
“full-blooded, chord splashing, orchestral approach to the acoustic piano.” – Jazzwise
