Elliot Galvin Trio

Elliot Galvin is one of the rising stars of UK jazz. A superbly gifted composer and pianist, whose maverick imagination and magpie-like ability to blend a disparate world of influences into his own unique musical vision has seen him compared to Django Bates, although in truth he sounds like no one except himself. From de-constructing standards to creating his own micro-tonal melodica, Galvin's music is both playful and deadly serious drawing on a wide range of influences from Keith Jarrett to Stravinsky, Ligeti, Deerhoof and the Beatles.

In 2014 the Elliot Galvin Trio received the European Young Jazz Artist of the Year Award and released their debut album Dreamland to rave reviews, with the Guardian calling it 'audaciously accomplished' ****
