Having released his EP ‘Road Fork’ in December 2018 (‘Magnificent’- Chris Philips JazzFM), guitarist and composer Mike De Souza will now be taking his Trio on tour around the UK to celebrate the release of his debut album 'Slow Burn', which showcases extensive and intricate compositions that are bolstered by energetic improvisations and empathic interactions.

The show will infuse sound and structure concepts inspired by alternative-rock bands such as Radiohead and Deerhoof, with the traditional jazz guitar trio line-up, as established by jazz greats such as Pat Metheny, John Scofield and Kurt Rosenwinkel.

Mike De Souza Trio features two of the most exciting and distinctive rising stars from London’s vibrant jazz scene, drummer Jay Davis and bassist Huw V Williams.

Huw and Jay first played together as Yamaha Jazz Scholars in 2012, and since then have gone on to play together as a rhythm section in many different projects.
