Bill Laurance Trio

An awesome booking! As the only venue in the kingdom, we are thrilled to welcome the 5-time Grammy-winning pianist and composer Bill Laurance on his Trio Tour 2025. You almost certainly know him from the world-renowned, powerhouse fusion jazz band Snarky Puppy. But Laurance shines in everything he takes on: his solo album Affinity (2022), collaborations with some of the world’s top big bands - such as the WDR Big Band on Live at the Philharmonie Cologne (2019), and The Untold Orchestra on Bloom L (2024). The Guardian hails him as a “Jazz Maestro.” Billboard writes that you simply have to surrender - his unmatched dexterity and musicality will enchant you on the spot. Now, thanks to Jazz6000, you can experience him live with his latest trio project - an explosive display of mastery, passion, and intensity. On their recent album The Rhodes Mk8 Sessions (2024), they’ve created nothing short of a keyboard revolution. Prepare for a musical tour-de-force with three extraordinary British jazz superstars you’d normally have to search far and wide to see - unless, of course, you drop by royal Kolding.

Line-up:
Bill Laurance (UK): piano & Fender Rhodes
Oscar Ogden (UK): drums
Menelik Claffey (UK): double bass & electric bass
