Zoe Rahman Trio

A remarkable pianist by any standard The Observer

A MOBO Award winner, Mercury Prize nominee and Ivor Novello Award winner, Zoe Rahman has established herself as a unique presence in the British music industry, releasing seven albums under her own name. Her latest release, “Colour of Sound”, won Album of the Year at the 2024 Parliamentary Jazz Awards.  Her sound is drenched with originality, a world class artist, composer and performer… she shines as one of Britain’s most powerful compositional voices and important contemporary artists Ivors Academy.

Her performance on Monday 17 November will include trio arrangements of a suite she wrote for World Piano Day 2024, commissioned by Hull Jazz Festival and Humber Street Piano sessions. The work was based on themes of voyage, migration and family, taking inspiration from two statues in Hull – one which commemorates the 2.2million people who passed through Hull as a port city, the other which looks out across the Humber to the sea.  The suite is dedicated to a Palestinian cab driver, Mo, who she met on her travels in Hull and to his family in Gaza.

Alongside the suite, Zoe will be playing some of her new compositions and music from her latest “Colour of Sound” album. She will be performing as a trio with Gene Calderazzo (drums) and Alec Dankworth (bass) at World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens as part of  EFG London Jazz Festival 2025 on Monday 17 November.
