About the show
Nick Malcolm's new trio is a joyous celebration of favourite composers whose tunes he loves to play. In loving imitation of canonical tenor/bass/drums trios, this band plays tunes by Thelonious Monk and Miles Davis, plus under explored repertoire by AACM composers such as Roscoe Mitchell and Anthony Braxton.
Featuring long time musical associate Will Harris on bass, plus wonderful young drummer Luke McCarthy, this trio will be a virtuosic and hard swinging celebration of the jazz tradition.
Featuring
Nick Malcolm
After living in Bath for the past few years Nick moved to London to do the postgraduate jazz course at Trinity. Now back in the area he is playing better than ever! Sighting his influences from a wide range of players such as Freddie Hubbard, Dave Douglas, Louis Armstrong, Miles, Winton Marsalis, Nick plays a whole range of styles from straight ahead to improve and in doing so has already made quite an impact on the music scene there. He has many projects ongoing such as the quintet Five Spot, a mixture of composed, grooves, free and changes featuring some of the South West’s top players such as Kevin Figes. Another band features Nick with Jake McMurchie and he has his own exciting Nick Malcolm Quartet which takes it’s inspiration from the “free Jazz” style.

Will Harris
Will’s dynamic and comprehensive approach to the double bass has put him in high demand as a musician in the South-West. He is a regular member of Andy Hague quartet, Kevin Figes quartet, Michelson Morley (alongside Get The Blessing tenorist Jake McMurchie), Karen Street’s Streetworks (alongside Mike Outram) and the Colman Brothers. Will has also shared the stage with the likes of Bobby Wellins, Alan Barnes, David Newton, Simon Spillett, Tina May, Anita Wardell, Damon Brown, Ed Jones and LA-based tenorist Benn Clatworthy.
