About:
Album launch featuring Zoe’s world-class trio, drummer Gene Calderazzo and bassist Alec Dankworth. The album centres around music from Zoe’s “Hull Suite”, which was commissioned by Hull Jazz Festival for World Piano Day 2024. Based on themes of voyage, migration and the sea and taking inspiration from two statues in Hull, the music is also deeply connected to Zoe’s own family history.
Recorded live at the Vortex in June 2025, the music encompasses a wide pallet, with earthy blues influences, soulful melodies and cinematic musical textures that highlight the vibrancy and interaction of this jazz trio at it’s finest.
A highly individual pianist and composer, Zoe Rahman’s style is deeply rooted in jazz and reflects her classical background, British/Bengali heritage and her very broad musical taste. A MOBO Award winner, Mercury Prize nominee and Ivor Novello Award winner, she has become a highly sought-after musician on the international jazz scene.
