British pianist and composer Elliot Galvin is one of the London scene’s young colorful artists with four critically acclaimed solo albums and a long list of prestigious collaborations behind him, with Emma-Jean Thackray, Norma Winstone, Marius Neset and Mark Lockheart, to name a few.
In addition to his own trio, Galvin is a member of the Mercury-nominated folk-inspired quartet Dinosaur led by trumpeter Laura Jurd.
As a composer, he has written commissioned works for the London Sinfonietta and Ligeti Quartet, the Aldeburgh Festival, John’s Smith Square and the London Jazz Festival. He also works as a sound artist with installations at art galleries such as Turner Contemporary Gallery and Contemporary Gallery.
Now this celebrated virtuoso and wayward composer comes to jazz club Fasching with a fresh album behind him. An album that he describes as his most personal to date, composed on his childhood piano and inspired by the gloomy, beautiful childhood landscapes.
