About the show
Tonight we are excited to welcome to the Club two outstanding musicians who have never actually played together before, Meg Morley & Vasilis Xenopoulos (we do enjoy musical “match making” here at the Club)! Deemed an ‘Exceptional Talent’ by Arts Council England, Australian-born pianist Meg Morley plays and composes music for an impressive range of disciplines, including dance (Australian Ballet, Royal Ballet), silent film (BFI, Flatpack Festival), jazz and electronic music. Meg’s solo piano EP and two trio albums have all been received with significant critical acclaim. A highly respected player on the scene Greek expat saxophonist Vasilis Xenopoulos’s fluent, muscular, creative tenor sax work has been heard with a wide variety of leading British and International musicians and he is best known here at the Club for his regular appearances with the classic hard bop quintet “Five Way Split”. The programme tonight will consist primarily of originals from Meg along with contributions from Vasilis and bass player Tom Farmer. Completing the quartet will be the man who put all this together, Emiliano Caroselli-drums. Exciting stuff!

Featuring - Meg Morley Trio
The Meg Morley Trio released their debut album Can’t Get Started in 2017, their unique style drawing on their individual backgrounds: Morley being a classically-trained pianist and composer (primarily improvising for dance and silent film whilst also studying jazz); the prodigiously self-taught Sadler being proficient in various musical styles; and the remarkably sensitive and virtuosic Caroselli being strongly immersed in the jazz tradition with influences also from pop, rock and from Cuba.
