Kindred Spirits album tour. Quartet with Idris Rahman (clarinet), Gene Calderazzo (drums) and Alec Dankworth (bass). Described in The Observer as “a remarkable pianist by any standard”, Zoe Rahman has firmly established herself as one of the brightest stars on the contemporary jazz scene. A vibrant and highly individual pianist/composer, her style is deeply rooted in jazz yet it reflects her classical background, British/Bengali heritage and her very broad musical taste. Known for her powerful technique, wide-ranging imagination and exuberant performance, she has become a highly sought-after musician.

 
Zoe has toured extensively throughout the UK and internationally, including, most recently: North Sea Jazz Festival; Molde Jazz Festival; Palermo Jazz Festival; Algeria’s European Cultural Festival; Cork Jazz Festival; Estonia’s Nargen Festival; Barbados Jazz Festival; Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club; the QEH at London’s Southbank Centre.
 
'Zoe brings a new slant to jazz composition and improvisation that never fails to grab my attention. This, coupled with an excellent piano technique, makes her an artiste of outstanding talent.'
Stan Tracey
 
'Zoe joyfully celebrates her influences with originality, personality and a certain contemporary verve.'
