About
The YARDE / BRICE / IBBETSON Trio is a powerhouse contemporary jazz and free improvisation group based in the UK. Bringing together three individuals of distinct musical voices, the trio creates music that is highly spontaneous, deeply emotional, and fiercely inventive.
Yarde is widely regarded as one of the greatest saxophonists, composers, and music directors the UK has ever produced. He has a storied career collaborating with jazz giants like Louis Moholo, McCoy Tyner, Andrew Hill, and Jack DeJohnette. His playing is celebrated for its virtuosic scope, blending explosive energy with delicate lyricism.
Brice is a premier London-based double bassist, composer, and improviser. Known for leading his own highly acclaimed groups—such as the Olie Brice Quartet—he is a vital pillar of the UK creative music scene. His authoritative tone and structural flexibility bridge the gap between heavy groove and absolute sonic freedom.
A dynamic drummer, producer, and improviser, Ibbetson is a standout addition to the creative music community. Known for his elastic rhythmic concepts and texture-forward approach to the drum kit, he moves effortlessly between abstract soundscapes and driving grooves.
The group notably performed at boundary-pushing music events like the Two Ship Festival (with guest Xhosa Cole) With a debut album on the horizon, previews of their studio chemistry already generating buzz on progressive radio platforms like Soho Radio and Resonance FM.
