Tom Sochas Trio

New artists, emerging talent, diverse voices and brilliant musicians: this is our monthly evening devoted to spotlighting some of the best original music around, across a host of genres encompassing jazz, funk, soul, folk and pop (as well as everything in between). Our art deco basement, known for its brilliant acoustics and intimate atmosphere, is proud to showcase fine talents at affordable ticket prices – perfect for a great night out in the West End.

Franco-American pianist and composer Tom Sochas returns to Crazy Coqs to present some brand new mountain-inspired music recently composed out in Norway, as well as some tunes from his previous critically acclaimed album, The Sorcerer. He’ll be joined by master bass player Thodoris Ziarkas (Greece) and the inimitable Filippo Galli (Italy) on drums. Influenced by the likes of Esbjorn Svennson, Brad Mehldau and Eyolf Dale, you can expect a blend of delicate contrapuntal melodies and hard-hitting grooves.
