Neil Cowley Trio - Entity Tour comes to Royal Birmingham Conservatoire

Unpausing of the Pause

After a seven year hiatus, the Neil Cowley Trio reunite for their UK tour in 2025.

They present music from their outstanding brand-new album, Entity, alongside some fan-favourite Cowley classics.

In 2006 the Neil Cowley Trio burst onto the scene with an exciting sound that fizzed with energy; their muscular anthems, galloping grooves and tender moments placed them at the forefront of a new movement in jazz, paving the way for six highly acclaimed albums over 10 years.

Pianist and composer Neil Cowley then pressed ‘pause’ to pursue a solo career–no less successful-taking in neo classical composition and electronica.

Now, stirred by his extended time of solitary music making, he makes a firm statement about the joy, comfort and the rewards of human connection in the digital age.

Joining Cowley are his close musical allies, bassist Rex Horan and drummer Evan Jenkins; three friends giving their all to each other, metaphorically dancing together.

Cowley is a brilliant composer and dazzling pianist and the trio flame still burns bright. ‘Entity’ is neither a return nor a departure from the Neil Cowley Trio sound. It is still the sound, but with the finger lifted from the pause button and it is a magnificent return to form cementing head-nodding wonky grooves, killer melodies and emotionally charged pieces with a glass like fragility laced throughout.

Expect a powerful performance of deeply impassioned music and hooks aplenty with Cowley’s infectious wit and playfulness never far behind.
