A pioneering figure in British jazz and improvised music, Trevor Watts has been at the forefront of creative music for over five decades with dozens of albums as leader or collaborator. Known for his distinctive sound on alto saxophone and his uncompromising commitment to innovation, Watts has worked with some of the most influential names in jazz and beyond, including Archie Shepp, Don Cherry, Steve Lacy, Amalgam, and the Spontaneous Music Ensemble. His extensive discography reflects both his deep roots in jazz traditions and his explorations into new musical territories, from free improvisation to world music fusions.
With Eternal Triangle, Watts brings together a powerful lineup that highlights his lyrical intensity, rhythmic drive, and unique ability to blend structure with freedom. The group has captivated audiences across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia, performing at major festivals and venues worldwide.
Adding to the night’s energy will be the RhythmEarth Trio, whose sound blends jazz with global grooves and contemporary improvisation, creating music that is both earthy and exploratory. Pianist Nic Saunders, widely respected for his expressive touch and versatility across styles features bringing his own voice to the evening’s programme along with Simon Whittaker on Drums and Tim Cole on Bass.
This promises to be a rare and exhilarating night of music from some of the UK’s most original and adventurous musicians.
