[jazz] Rob Barron

About

★★★★★ – "This is classic piano trio jazz at its best" – Barry Withderden – BBC Music Magazine

Rob Barron is a mainstay on the London Jazz and studio scene and tonight brings his first class trio to Peggy's Skylight for their debut performance at the club.

Rob has played with a who's who of American jazz musicians such as Al Jarreau, Patti Austin, Marlena Shaw, Phil Woods, Benny Golson, Grant Stewart, and John Marshall and leading UK musicians Dave O'Higgins, Claire Martin, Anita Wardell, Mark Crooks, Colin Oxley and Nat Steele. As a session musician he has played on many film sound tracks and has worked with the BBC Big Band, Paloma Faith, Beverley Knight, The Philharmonia Orchestra and The Ronnie Scott's Jazz Orchestra

His playing style evokes a quality and touch reminiscent of the great 'Blue Note' pianists such as Bud Powell, Hank Jones and Cedar Walton.

His latest album 'From This Moment On' was released in October 2020, receiving numerous five star reviews and accolades from both the UK and international press. It features Rob's own new arrangements of choice standards from the American Songbook as well as his inventive original compositions.

He is accompanied tonight by two of the country's most in demand sidemen, Jeremy Brown on bass and Josh Morrison on drums. A night of feel-good swinging jazz and bebop in this classic piano trio setting.
