PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)

After sensational sold-out concerts at Dean Street in 2019 and 2021, it’s a welcome return, in March 2023, for this concert by the Tom Green Septet, one of the most successful bands of young British musicians, playing original, inventive and highly creative jazz, featuring compositions by their leader on trombone, Tom Green. Following the successful launch of their first album “Skyline” in 2016, the Tom Green Septet enhanced their standing as a new youthful force in the jazz world with a much talked about concert at London’s Wigmore Hall. The original writing and compelling ensemble arrangements confirmed them as a unique group of talented musicians which led to their widely acclaimed sell out concert, in the 2018 EFG London Jazz Festival.

“My Dad would have loved Tom Green’s performance of his Skylark. It’s the best I have ever experienced.”

The Tom Green Septet made their PizzaExpress Jazz Club debut, in another sold out concert in the Spring of 2019 playing original compositions and new arrangements, featuring intricate emotive ensemble playing together with towering individual improvisations.
