Supremely talented keyboardist and founding member of Snarky Puppy returns to Southbank Centre following his sold out performance in the 2018 EFG London Jazz Festival.
‘It’s a personal exploration. I'm discovering my own voice, my own sound all the time’, explains Bill Laurance. ‘I get a kick out of that journey.’
That journey has led Laurance across the globe and through a myriad of award-winning musical projects. A three times Grammy winning, world-renowned multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer, dubbed a 'jazz maestro' by The Guardian.
2018 has seen Bill exploring his first love, the piano, with the recording of a solo album entitled Cables to be released this March. The album puts Bill’s focus on the piano and electronics in a further exploration of the meeting of classical and jazz.
Widely travelled as soloist and producer, his solo projects demonstrate an intensely individual approach to both acoustic and electric keyboards – and his talent as composer is evidenced in collaborations with dance companies worldwide as well as his own projects – most recently with one of the world’s leading jazz big bands, the WDR Big Band, in the 2018 EFG London Jazz Festival.
