Jazz trio led by pianist Zoe Rahman plays her album 'Hull Suite Live', part of the Hull Jazz Festival Hull Truck night.
Zoe Rahman Trio play Hull Truck Theatre on Friday 13 November, part of the Hull Jazz Festival. The set comes from her album Hull Suite Live, which centres on the Hull Suite commissioned by the festival for World Piano Day 2024. The work draws on themes of voyage, migration and the sea, and was inspired by two statues in Hull, giving it a direct connection to her own family history.
Rahman is a British jazz pianist born in 1971, known for an expressive style that blends elements of several genres. On the night, she's joined by drummer Gene Calderazzo and bassist Alec Dankworth. The album Hull Suite Live has already caught the ear of Jazz FM critic Nikki Yeoh, who called it "absolutely beautiful".
It's a good time to get a sense of where she's been, too. Her discography stretches back over two decades: Colour of Sound (2023), Dreamland (2016), Transcendental (2012), Kindred Spirits (2012), Melting Pot (2005) and The Cynic (2000). The Hull Suite is the latest addition to that list, and this is one of the chances to hear it played live.
