The Pete Roth Trio, with Bill Bruford on drums, plays jazz for a new generation at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre.
The Pete Roth Trio play the Wrecking Ball Arts Centre on Friday 29 January, with Bill Bruford on drums. It's a guitar-led jazz trio, and they describe their approach as jazz for a new generation, pushing beyond traditional conventions.
Leading the group is Pete Roth, who took up the guitar at 11 and studied jazz in England, drawing on Joe Pass, John Scofield and Julian Lage. He recorded two albums on MGP Records before forming the trio. On bass is Mike Pratt, a London-based double-bass and bass-guitar player, composer and producer who has played at Ronnie Scotts in the ensemble Shorter Than Miles, the Royal Albert Hall and the Cape Town Jazz Festival, and who teaches at Kingston University. And on drums is Bill Bruford, an internationally renowned drummer and bandleader whose career spans rock and jazz, with groups such as Bruford and Earthworks. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Yes in 2017 and was named by Rolling Stone as the 16th Greatest Drummer of All Time in 2016.
Press on the trio's live show includes a quote from Anthony Garone of Make Weird Music (USA): 'I wish more jazz was this much fun.'
