The Impossible Gentlemen - In Frankfurt (2012)

Palmengarten

Frankfurt am Main, Germany

2012-07-05

A very unusual concert took place that day in Frankfurt. Soon after the concert had begun, it started to rain growing into a heavy shower with a thunderstorm. Gwilym Simcock invited the audience up the stage (a large one) and so the musicians were surrounded by nearly 200 people.

Gwilym Simcock & Yuri Goloubev - In Saarbrücken, Germany (2014)

Jazz Live With Friends

Studio Eins

Saarbruecken, Germany

December 3, 2014

If you listen closely, you will find echoes of Mozart, Bach, Chopin, Ravel, Gershwin or Ligeti, as well as of Shearing, Monk, Evans, Peterson and, of course, Jarrett. But Simcock is not eclectic. He is a neo-romantic who with jazz standards creates billowing and swirling elegies with new ideas and escapades. Simcock with bassist Yuri Goloubev combine the desire to transform their romantic-classical vein in a jazz context. Recommended!

Gwilym Simcock Trio - At Musikfest Bremen (2010)

29 year old (now 33), Gwilym Simcock is one of the most gifted pianists and imaginative composers on the British scene.  Able to move effortlessly between jazz and classical music, he can, at times, inhabit both worlds and has been described as stylistically reminiscent of Keith Jarrett, complete with ‘harmonic sophistication and subtle dovetailing of musical traditions’ as well as being a pianist of ‘exceptional’, ‘brilliant’ and ‘dazzling’ ability.  His music has been widely acclaimed as ‘engaging, exciting, often unexpected, melodically enthralling, complex and wonderfully optimistic’.

Gwilym Simcock Trio - Liverpool (2011)

Gwilym Simcock / piano

Yuri Goloubev / bass

Asaf Sirkis / drums

A graduate of Londons Royal Academy of Music, multi award winning virtuoso pianist and composer Gwilym Simcocks work blurs the boundaries between jazz and classical music. I feel confident that Simcock already deserves to occupy the inner circle of the great contemporary pianists along with Mehldau, Jarrett, and Rubalcaba. (David Kane, Cadence Magazine, USA)

Simcock, Garland, Sirkis - Lighthouse (2012)

With Lighthouse, saxophonist Tim Garland, pianist Gwilym Simcock and percussionist Asaf Sirkis make the move to completely egalitarian collective. It's also the first album to feature the trio without any additional guests. Garland's Lighthouse Trio first came together on the saxophonist's If the Sea Replied (Sirocco, 2005), an ambitious song cycle that—in addition to including mates from his impro-folk Lammas and Acoustic Triangle, which by that time also featured Simcock—was scored for members of the Northern Sinfonia Orchestra. Libra (Global Mix, 2009) was even more far-reaching—a double-disc set sporting an even larger cast of characters. But the emphasis was always on the core trio—and, with the exception of three jazz covers on Libra—Garland's compositional pen. With Lighthouse, the trio's name reflects its more democratic nature, and in particular the emergence of the twenty-something Simcock as a leader in his own right.
