Leicester Jazz House presents Trish Clowes and Ross Stanley Duo

Best jazz music in Leicester.

Saxophonist Trish Clowes and pianist Ross
Stanley have been carefully crafting their
Unique sound world over a number of years
Performing their own material, arrangements of
Music from jazz, folk and church organ
traditions, and free improvisations. The duo’s
appearances include Wigmore Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Royal Festival Hall (with
Stanley making use of the organ), Galway Jazz
Festival, Symphony Hall (Birmingham)
Buxton International Festival, Manchester Jazz
Festival, and St George’s Bristol.

In March
2024, Clowes and Stanley released their album
‘Journey to Where’ to wide critical acclaim, out
on Stoney Lane Records.
The duo enjoy working with material from
anywhere. Their concerts often include music
by Duke Ellington, Geri Allen, Osvaldo Farrés
Lili Boulanger, Nikki Iles, Antonio Carlos
Jobim, as well as original compositions, two of
which are dedicated to Clowes and Stanley’s
respective heroes, Wayne Shorter and John
Taylor. At the heart of their ever-evolving
Programme of music lies interpretations of a
Marcel Dupré prelude (Prelude III from Trois
Preludes et Fugues) and Herbert Howells’s
Gloucester Service - two beloved works from
Stanley’s time as an organ scholar at
Marlborough College.

“Two of the absolute masters we have in this
Country ... So deeply devoted to their craft as
improvisers.” - Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2
