Coventry Jazz Festival 08

Warwick Arts Centre is delighted to be working in partnership with Coventry Jazz Festival, presenting an impressive and varied programme performing in several venues across the city.

Since the release of the band's debut album Hidden in February 2007, Curios have made a striking impact on the UK jazz scene. Hailed as 'triumphant' in MOJO, 'spellbinding' in The Independent, 'dazzling' in Jazz UK and 'pioneering' in Musician magazine, the album was nominated in the BBC Jazz Awards and reached the top 5 in both the HMV and the Radio 3 Jazz Charts.

Formed in 2006 by pianist and composer Tom Cawley, the distinctive sound of Curios owes all to the group's chemistry and the unrivalled interplay between the musicians. Drawing on romantic classical music as much as modern jazz, Cawley's compositions are melodic, fiery, serene, intense. Live, the band covers the whole spectrum - at times delicate, at times wildly percussive; flashing from a whisper to a roar.

Described in Time Out as 'state-of-the-art piano trio music', the group's recent gig at London's Vortex jazz club moved the critic Chris Parker to proclaim Curios as 'a must-see piano trio for anyone interested in where this most crucial of jazz formats can be taken.'
