Neil C. Young new Trio

Originally introduced to Stray’s back on Middlegate at one of the early Jazz Festival musicians, Neil has been performing up here ever since. Hailing from a very musical family, Neil’s father continues to play double bass and is also a bandleader and conductor.

Neil started out very young on violin and discovered guitar in his later youth. His official trio perform all over the north west, playing both standards and many of Neil’s originals.

The outfit have been recording their suite of EP’s called Re-Works – repurposing existing hooks and established patterns. This exciting project generates new music and fresh lines of flight, aiming to draw out disparate angles hiding in the music. Lyrical content is present and correct, but respectfully adjusted, re-sited and not forgotten. This is praxis-focussed Action Jazz, Grunge Fusion, perhaps- and made with an resolutely open mind and a genuine sense of adventure.

His music is available on Spotify, BandCamp, Apple Music and YouTube.

Neil is joined by Mat Short (bass) and Neil Adam Richards (drums) for this unofficial trio session. We recommend you book for this one…
