Jazzfestival 2024: Trish Clowes My Iris
Jazzclub, Karlsruhe
21.10.2024
My Iris is an intense and thrilling band that represents the front rank of the contemporary UK jazz scene. Lauded for her imaginative approach to improv and adroit writing, saxophonist Trish Clowes provides her bandmates Ross Stanley (piano/Hammond organ), Chris Montague (guitar) and Joel Barford (drums) with a unique platform for individual expression and group interplay, delivering driving grooves and lingering melodic lines, seamlessly morphing between earthy restlessness and futuristic dreamscapes.
In November 2023, Clowes released an EP with MY IRIS, Wild Swimming, featuring four tracks, accompanied by new music videos directed by Will Darkin. Previous MY IRIS recordings include A View with a Room, on US trumpeter Dave Douglass Greenleaf Music (2022), and two releases for UK label Basho records, Ninety Degrees Gravity (2019) and My Iris (2017). Abbott & Costello, a track from Ninety Degrees Gravity, was inspired by characters in Denis Villeneuves science fiction film Arrival, and was turned into a music video by film maker Rose Hendry. Abbott & Costello went on to be screened at the Cannes Lions Festival and shortlisted for The Voice Of A Woman Awards 2019.
My Iris has toured internationally and made broadcasts for BBC Radio 3 and Radio Bremen. Notable recent performances include Wigmore Hall (where Clowes is an Associate Artist), Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club, Rochester International Jazz Festival (Made In The UK showcase), Toronto International Jazz Festival, Galway Jazz Festival, and the Barbican (London Jazz Festival). In May 2023, MY IRIS were joined by Dave Douglas for a special gig at the 606 Club in London, playing a mixture of Douglas and Clowess compositions. This quintet line-up will be performing a series of dates in May 2024, with more new music planned by Douglas and Clowes.
Saxophonist and composer Trish Clowes leads MY IRIS, an intense and thrilling quartet with Ross Stanley (piano/Hammond organ), Chris Montague (guitar) and Joel Barford (drums). Dedicated to exploration and adroit writing, Clowes provides her bandmates with a unique platform for individual expression and group interplay, delivering driving grooves and lingering melodic lines, seamlessly morphing between earthy restlessness and futuristic dreamscapes.
Clowes is currently an Associate Artist at Wigmore Hall (London), and her recorded music can be found on US indie label Greenleaf Music, and UK labels Stoney Lane Records & Basho Records. Having been previously commissioned to write for ensembles such as the BBC Concert Orchestra and the London Sinfonietta, Clowes will appear as a guest soloist with the NDR Big Band (Germany) in November 2024, performing a new set of her own music.
MY IRIS have toured internationally and made broadcasts for BBC Radio 3 and Radio Bremen. In May 2024 the band were joined by US trumpeter-composer Dave Douglas (who is also the artistic director of Greenleaf Music) for a series of dates at the Pizza Express Jazz Club in London, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, and Bray Jazz Festival in Ireland. Other notable performances for the band include Wigmore Hall, Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club, Rochester International Jazz Festival (US), Toronto International Jazz Festival, Galway Jazz Festival, and the Barbican (London Jazz Festival).
