A Spring-themed lunchtime concert showcasing the Great American Songbook

One of the most distinctive voices in jazz and improvised music, Mercury-nominated Laura Jurd’s unique approach to the trumpet is celebrated in the work that she creates. A past BBC New Generation Artist, Laura’s love of folk traditions can often be heard in her music, alongside her background in classical composition. The result is a melodic world full of compelling twists and turns, whilst retaining a grounded sense of familiarity.

Barry McCormack was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1978 and studied piano as a child. He received his first guitar from his uncle Harry and was inspired to learn by ear from Blues programs on the radio. He discovered jazz soon after that and his early heroes were Charlie Parker, Wes Montgomery and George Benson but his most important influence was Louis Stewart who lived and played in Dublin.

CEO Experiment is the highly acclaimed Dublin-based trio featuring Leopoldo Osio (piano), Peter Erdei (electric bass), and Cote Calmet (drums), known for defining the cutting edge of fusion jazz and modern improvisation.

With an international reputation for intricate writing and adventurous improvisation, Trish Clowes provides her bandmates with an abundance of space for exploration, spontaneity, and kinetic provocation. A new album with the quartet is due to be released in Spring 2026, presenting a new set of vibrant compositions.
