Gwilym Simcock is a busy man currently enjoying his recent Mercury Music Prize nomination for his latest recording "Good Days at Schloss Elmau" on the ACT label. The nomination honours a performer at the height of his musical powers. He has truly evolved and transcended his position as Radio 3's first New Generation Jazz Artist and "The Elmau" recording showcases his solo piano virtuosity and follows on from his solo, duo & trio recording "Blues Vignette", the album where he first revealed his latest working trio. Like many of the most accomplished jazzmen Gwilym thrives on collaboration and recently sparkled in duet with star vocalist Cleveland Watkiss as part of his piano/vocal series at the Pheasantry in Chelsea. The Anglo - American quartet "The Impossible Gentlemen" features the pianist on a recording of the same name with Mike Walker, Adam Nussbaum and Steve Swallow and showcases an exciting band currently wowing audiences at all the international jazz festivals. But it is his regular working trio that Jazz Line-Up feature with Russian bassist Yuri Goloubev and British drummer James Maddren. This trio is at the heart of Gwilym's musical vision and today he invites his long-time collaborator and special guest from "Acoustic Triangle" Tim Garland on saxophone. Julian Joseph presents.
