Experience the Neil Cowley Trio like never before. In Built on Bach, the trio explore the subtle but powerful influence of Johann Sebastian Bach on Cowley’s original music. This isn’t a reworking of Bach’s compositions – it’s a creative dialogue, with improvisation and extemporisation revealing the Baroque master’s presence within the trio’s unmistakable sound.


Known for his dry wit and engaging storytelling, Cowley shares personal anecdotes about Bach’s impact on his music and life, giving audiences an intimate glimpse behind the music.

Expect a lighter, more reverential touch than the trio’s usual thrilling crescendos – yet the performance remains dynamic, heartfelt, and full of energy. Cowley is joined by long-time collaborators Evan Jenkins (drums) and Rex Horan (bass) in a fresh, inspiring project that’s still unmistakably the Neil Cowley Trio.
