MORE DETAILS HERE
The Dave Milligan Trio, based in Scotland have been playing together for about ten years. Dynamic, engaging, humourous, dazzling, uplifting, the trio’s performances have consistently thrilled audiences and critics alike over the years. All band leaders in their own right, Milligan, Bancroft & Lyne have developed an empathy that can only come from years of playing together. Critics have at times drawn comparisons to piano trios such as The Bad Plus, Brad Mehldau, E.S.T., Bobo Stenson and even Keith Jarrett, but always recognising the group’s strong, disinctive folk-tinged identity that sets them apart. The Dave Milligan Trio’s debut album Late Show has received rave press notices for its warm, soulfully melodic approach and collective understanding, and the group continues to develop as a very unique musical voice.
“A dazzling display of technical skills and invention… makes an enormous impression - a keyboard master of today who is more melodic than, say, Bobo Stenson, but gentler than Jarret. Certainly that's the sort of company he belongs in.” JAZZ UK
“A cracking trio… virtuosity and creative independence… a fervently jigging, Scottish-dance feel …one to look out for.” THE GUARDIAN
“A pianist of quite astonishing verve and subtlety… a whirlwind tour de force." THE GUARDIAN
