GERALD CLAYTON TRIO

Such famous jazz soloists as Diana Krall and Roy Hargrove have called upon piano talent Gerald Clayton. Now audiences are discovering his traditionally flavoured, but extremely adventurous and exciting music. During his previous gig at the Bimhuis he displayed equal passion for jazz as well as hip-hop. ‘In a generation of technical, and resourceful, wunderkinds, Clayton stands out for his nuanced touch, precise articulation and the way he constructs a narrative for his solos’ (Downbeat).
