Expansive Contemporary Jazz, Improvisation & Immersive Soundscapes. With three album releases, two Help Musicians awards and more than 50 live dates behind them, Aspyrian are rapidly establishing themselves as one of the most distinctive and ambitious voices on the UK jazz scene. For their first performance at Toulouse Lautrec, the trio celebrate the release of their new album, Live at The Glad Jazz Festival, recorded live in 2024. The record revisits five original compositions from their two studio albums, to explore (vol. 1 & 2), capturing the trio’s music in a more open, spontaneous setting. For this special album release show, Aspyrian will combine music from the record with newer material, taking compositions that have become second nature to the band and opening them up to expansive improvisation, risk-taking and spontaneous musical conversation. With Support from Joe Baz Trio The Joe Baz Trio bring a fresh, adventurous approach to jazz standards and contemporary swing, exploring music by three of the genre’s most distinctive composers: Billy Strayhorn, Thelonious Monk and Cole Porter. Blending familiar favourites with lesser-heard gems, the trio rework this timeless repertoire through expressive improvisation and a modern musical sensibility. The evening will also feature intimate saxophone and double bass interludes, with famous melodies reimagined in a spacious, chordless setting.
