The Tom Green Septet

Piano Smithfield, Long Lane, Barbican, London

Following the successful launch of their first album “Skyline”, the Tom Green Septet enhanced their standing as a new youthful force in the jazz world with a much talked about concert at London’s Wigmore Hall.

The original writing and compelling ensemble arrangements confirmed them as a unique group of talented musicians which led to their widely acclaimed sell out concert, in the 2018 EFG London Jazz Festival.

The Tom Green Septet made their Pizza Express Jazz Club debut, in another sold out concert in the Spring of 2019 and again in 2022, after the Covid hiatus, playing original compositions and new arrangements, featuring intricate emotive ensemble playing together with towering individual improvisations.

Tom’s orchestration skills were shown to the fore as band manager of the Royal Academy of Music Alumni All Stars 22- piece orchestra playing the original Gil Evans arrangements of George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess in the 2019 EFG London Jazz Festival at St Johns Smith Square

Their most welcome return to Dean Street earlier this year was  the first concert since the launch of their second album “Tipping Point” described as “imaginative and ingenious ****” - Observer .

So, it’s with extra enthusiasm we welcome them for their debut concert at Piano Smithfield in the EFG London Jazz Festival

Here’s the band with one of Tom’s new compositions “Jack O’Lantern"

Tom Green, on trombone, leads his band of talented young musicians on trumpet, alto & tenor saxophones, piano, double bass and drums.
