QOW Trio

About this event

QOW TRIO is a generation-spanning trio of diverse players who’ve come together, united by a love of the tradition, to explore the freedom that opens up within the three-way saxophone-bass-drums format.

Their influences reach back across the history of the music, and look forward into its future, drawing inspiration from its constant evolution, from Lester Young to Charlie Parker to Sonny Rollins to Joe Henderson to Dewey Redman to Seamus Blake to Bill McHenry and beyond, creating a wide-open trio sound that tells a host of exciting stories. The  QOW TRIO debut album, recorded live across a single charged afternoon,  captures the spontaneous interplay that’s always been at the heart of jazz: in it you will hear echoes of prohibition era Kansas City swing, the kinetic rush of 52nd Street bebop, the untrammelled freedom of the Manhattan loft scene, and more. Together QOW TRIO’s playing experience encompasses a span of sixty years across three generations.

Featuring Riley Stone Lonergan on saxophone, Eddie Myer on bass and Spike Wells on drums, this concert will showcase some of London’s finest musicians here in Belfast.
