Greg Foat Live, for the first time at Gazarte Main Stage! Featuring Sokratis Votskos

Today’s leading British jazz pianist brings his signature blend of jazz explorations, cinematic and uplifting atmospheres to a special set featuring Sokratis Votskos on saxophone.

With more than 25 albums to his name, the endlessly creative and prolific Greg Foat arrives to unfold his multifaceted talent in a unique performance alongside Ayo Salawu on drums, Elie Ghersinu on bass, and Sokratis Votskos on saxophone.

With a solid musical background, having studied with British jazz legends such as pianist Gordon Beck, Greg Foat continues to evolve, travelling effortlessly between different musical worlds with boundless energy and a constant drive for melodic exploration.

Before his next appearance at Ronnie Scott’s in London, he comes to the Main Stage of Gazarte to offer us an evening showcasing the freshest and most exciting sounds from today’s British music scene. His multidimensional performances have been praised by audiences worldwide—from Jazz Café to Moods in Zurich, Fasching in Stockholm, Mojo Club and Boiler Room. It is no coincidence that he has been featured multiple times on Gilles Peterson’s World Wide Radio Show, as well as in awards and special tributes.

Don’t miss a unique performance where contemporary jazz balances between synth-laden funk grooves, cosmic, cinematic and electronic melodies.
