About

Barry Green is a wonderful modern jazz pianist whose fluent and melodic playing has made a significant impact on the UK jazz scene. After studying classical and jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in the late 90's, Barry quickly established himself on the scene as a player of poise and creativity. Over the last few years he has performed regularly at the likes of Ronnie Scott’s, Pizza Express Dean Street, The Wigmore Hall, The Purcell Room and The Vortex, as well of course as appearing many times here at the Club. Internationally he has played at clubs and festivals in Spain, Slovenia, Sweden, Norway, Croatia, Turkey, Italy and France, and has performed with headliners at the Cheltenham, Cork, Berlin and North Sea Jazz festivals. His cv is vast, including work with the likes of Bobby Watson, Charles McPherson, Bobby Wellins, Ian Shaw, Anita Wardell, Richie Cole and Us3, as well as his own trio. Barry is currently a professor of jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
