JBT
(James Beckwith Trio) is a new project formed by Dankworth Prize winning
composer & jazz pianist James Beckwith. From England, having spent
many years in Canada, and currently studying Composition at Trinity
Laban, James draws from a wide range of geographical influences in his
writing. The group’s style: strong lyrical tunes with warm, full
harmony, is described as sounding akin to and influenced by Gerald
Clayton, Tigran Hamasyan, and Robert Glasper. With inspiration ranging
from New York contemporary jazz harmonies, Middle Eastern & Asian
folk melodies, and hip hop inflected groove, this dynamic trio’s
performances are not to be missed.
On bass is Joe Downard. Currently bassist for the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, and performed at Ronnie Scott's Late Show, and the main show with the Engines Orchestra. A highly sought after young player in multiple genres and music scenes; Joe effortlessly grooves over the multiple genres that JBT play. On drums is Harry Pope, MMus Jazz from Trinity Laban and also drummer with the internationally touring World Service Project. This percussive sideman has recently completed a number of sessions for television adverts and has performed notably with the RSNO, Tom Cawley, and Chaos Orchestra.
