A vibrant and highly individual pianist and composer, Zoe Rahman’s style is deeply rooted in jazz yet it reflects her classical background, British/Bengali heritage and her very broad musical taste. A MOBO Award winner, Mercury Prize nominee and Ivor Novello Award winner, Zoe has established herself as a unique presence in the British music industry. Zoe’s latest album, Hull Suite Live , due for release in July 2026, features her world-class trio, with drummer Gene Calderazzo (Pharoah Sanders, Randy Brecker) and bassist Alec Dankworth (Abdullah Ibrahim, Dave Brubeck). These long-standing musical partners display an electrifying synergy with Zoe on piano. Zoe’s new music centres around a suite written for World Piano Day 2024, and explores themes of family, migration and the sea, tracing Zoe’s own family history of migration and the story of a piano. You can expect earthy blues influences, soulful melodies and cinematic musical textures that highlight the trio’s dynamic energy and interaction. “Absolutely beautiful.” Nikki Yeoh, Jazz FM Zoe Rahman – piano Alec Dankworth – double bass Gene Caldarazzo – drums
