Leeds Jazz, Sunday, December 7, 2008
20:30 at Seven Arts, Chapel Allerton, Leeds
Tom Cawley's Curios
Tom Cawley (piano); Sam Burgess (bass); Joshua Blackmore (drums).
Tom Cawley's Curios are representatives of an emerging new jazz trend
that has led them to early success and a 2008 BBC Jazz Award as Band
of the Year.
Tom, while seeming to emerge from nowhere fully formed with Curios
(described by Time Out as 'state of the art'), has worked with
saxophonist Dave O'Higgins, singer Gwyneth Herbert and many others. He
continues to play alongside Pete Wareham and Seb Rochford in the
seminal Acoustic Ladyland and the influence of that band, already felt
by so many new, young UK bands who have followed in their wake, can be
felt in Curios. It's a trio with a jazz sensibility but still pushing
forward and not conforming to anyone's agenda but its own. Bass
player, Sam Burgess and young drummer Josh Blackmore have brought
their own individual capabilities to the mix and the continuous
dialogue and interchange that goes on between these three players put
Curios into a class of their own.
