London Jazz Festival performance is the culmination of a never-been-done-before project created in collaboration Goldsmiths. Together with violinist/arranger Julian Ferraretto, Cowley aims to turn the way classical music is learned and played on its head.

Neil Cowley is a blazingly original pianist/composer with a subversive take on the traditional jazz piano.

Cowley and Ferraretto will challenge a specially-assembled 30-piece ‘big strings’ orchestra to cast aside the principles of classical music, and replace with the theory of jazz improvisation and playing by ear, bringing new life to music from the trio’s highly acclaimed 2012 release, The Face of Mount Molehill, as well as material specially composed for the concert.
