Treehouse (3)

Norwich Jazz Club presents

Treehouse

Tom Hewson (piano) Lewis Wright (vibes) Calum Gourlay (bass)

Treehouse take the improvisational drive of jazz into a chamber context, showcasing the virtuosity and interplay of three of the country’s top young jazz musicians in a crystal-clear ensemble with a rich, acoustic sound. Leader and pianist Tom Hewson’s compositions, in the hands of Lewis Wright (MOBO winner with Empirical) and Calum Gourlay (Mercury nominated with the Kit Downes Trio), take in influences such as Dave Holland, Paul Bley, Jimmy Giuffre and The Claudia Quintet.

Returning to Norwich for the first time since appearing at 2014's Jazz Weekender, their performance this evening is part of their current UK tour, promoting their keenly-anticipated new album.

“An exciting trio with a special sound and understanding. There’s a real vitality and rapport in the group and the compositions are sublime, with Tom’s beautiful, adventurous piano playing throughout. ” John Taylor
