Event information

This performance marks the debut of a new project called Zoöphyte, featuring some of the most in-demand jazz talent in London. It is also the launch gig for a new album: Signs of Life showcases the songwriting of Peter Jones and Trevor Lever, and combines elements of jazz, rock, soul and psychedelia to create a rich, multi-layered sound.

The band features a three-man horn section, with Graeme Flowers (Hexagonal, Wild Card) on trumpet, Vasilis Xenopoulos (XPQ, with Nigel Price) on tenor and Barnaby Dickinson (Deodato, London Horns) on trombone. Leon Greening (Incognito, Gareth Lockrane) is a virtuoso pianist, while Andrew Cleyndert (Stan Tracey, Lee Konitz) has a powerful and instantly recognisable sound on the bass. Vocalist Peter Jones leads the band, aided by rising guitar star Mike de Souza and drummer Matt Skeaping (Jamie Cullum, Alan Barnes).
