One of the jazz world’s great piano players, Aaron Parks teams up with guitarist Tom Ollendorf for an unmissable show as part of their European tour. With support from Leeds-based rising star, trumpeter Olivia Cutill.
New York-based Pianist Aaron Parks is a forward-thinking jazz musician who came to the public’s attention during his time with trumpeter Terence Blanchard – recording three albums with him including the Grammy-winning A Tale of God’s Will (A Requiem for Katrina). His own music has been released to critical acclaim on Blue Note, ECM and Ropeadope Records, and in 2016 he was listed as one of Downbeat Magazine’s ’25 for the Future’.
Tom Ollendorff is fast becoming one of the best-known young guitarists to emerge on the international jazz scene. In 2021 his debut album A Song For You received international acclaim and 4-star reviews from both BBC Music Magazine and Jazz Journal.
In association with JazzLeeds.
