James Pearson Trio
JP is a forebodingly brilliant and melodically inventive jazz pianist and few can match him or his trio
The James Pearson Trio is one of the finest Jazz Trios in Europe. Over the past three years they have regularly performed as the 'house trio' at the historic Jazz Club Ronnie Scott's in London where James is the Artistic Director. Their most recent album Swing the Club, recorded at the venue, has attracted universal acclaim from the critics for both James and the band.
Bandleader James Pearson is an internationally renowned pianist in his own right. He has recorded and performed with many of the great heroes of jazz including Wynton Marsalis, Elvin Jones and Dame Cleo Laine to name but a few.
He is equally at home in the classical arena and has played concertos with the Halle and BBC Concert Orchestra amongst many others. He has broadcast live on the BBC, Classic FM and ITV. His ability to span the genres has led to the musical director and pianist post for many stars including Paul McCartney, Kevin Spacey and Will Young.
