Event information
Sam Leak performs contemporary jazz with a gospel-tinged, and folk-inspired, freedom and abandon. Conjuring up joy and emotion and a sense of the tradition of jazz roots whilst performing music that is very much rooted in the present. The duo will perform a mixture of Leak’s compositions and some lesser played compositions from their favorite musicians. Sam Leak has toured the UK over many years playing at venues such as Ronnie Scott’s and will join us this October at Hot Numbers.
“The Royal Academy of Music’s jazz program has produced a remarkable crop of newcomers in recent times: notably the Mercury-nominated pianists Gwilym Simcock and Kit Downes. Now comes Sam Leak, an artist of comparable promise…Leak is a subtle storyteller who keeps the grooves and colors changing.” – John Fordham
