Fresh from a run of European dates, Tom Sochas Trio returns to PizzaExpress Live for an evening of evocative, contemporary jazz. The setlist travels from the Arctic Circle—featuring music from their mountain-inspired album Facing North—to an exciting preview of brand-new material from a soon to be announced release. Expect a blend of original contemporary jazz and selected standards. Not to be missed! Tom Sochas is a Franco-American pianist born and raised in Paris, France and Nairobi, Kenya. Tom moved to London in 2011 to study and pursue his artistic career. Tom’s love of lyrical and melodic music, hard hitting post-bop and his passion for western classical music has led him to developing a unique sound, itself materialising into his first solo EP, You could hear the bird sing. Following its success Tom Sochas released his debut trio album The Sorcerer on Khumbu Records in April 2022. Tom was awarded the Do It Differently grant from Help Musicians UK to support the release of this record. Tom and the trio have had the pleasure of touring this record and performing to sold-out audiences in some of Europe’s greatest jazz clubs including Ronnie Scott’s in London, Birdland in Hamburg, Sunset Sunside in Paris, Philly Joe’s in Tallinn, Sala Clamores in Madrid, The Jazz Bar in Edinburgh and Milano Jazz Club in Barcelona amongst others. Tom was recently awarded another grant by Help Musicians UK and has just released his sophomore album Facing North, out on Khumbu Records.

Tanhai Collective

Emerging UK Jazz band Tanhai Collective perform unreleased tracks from their yet to be recorded debut full length album. Drawing from 70's Funk and 90's post rock acts like Stereolab their new album sits on Modal grooves with memorable hooks and head nodding rhythms. 6 piece instrumental outfit Tanhai Collective draw from Classic Soul Jazz and the jazzier end of post rock. Their groove heavy and melodic music utilises 70’s production and recording techniques for groovy, explosive and occasionally dubbed out tracks. For fans of Donald Byrd or Badbadnotgood. Their newest album ‘Circa 2019’ set for August 2025 release goes back to their roots for melody forward, groove laden 70s Jazz Funk. Recorded and cut in one day the tracks dive head first into a live sound, reminiscent of classic recordings of the analogue era. After laying down the groundwork for a modern jazz sound with the release of their first 2 EPs ‘The Tanifesto’ & ‘In Lane’ respectively, the band headlined London’s Jazz Cafe, held a year long residency at ‘Parliamentary Jazz Venue of the Year’ runner up 91 Living Room, and supported Herbie Hancock’s headhunters at Ronnie Scotts for back to back nights. In Autumn 2025 they release ‘circa 2019’ alongside a UK tour performing at London’s Jazz Cafe, Manchester’s Band on the Wall, Rough Trafe Bristol and Norwich Arts Centre.

Dom Pipkin

Alongside a glittering session career (David Byrne, Ray Davies, Morcheeba), piano player and songwriter Dom Pipkin has been described by Blues in Britain as “one of the world’s greatest exponents of New Orleans piano”. He first discovered the New Orleans style in the early 90s, and has gone on to become a regular visitor and performer in that city, with appearances that include the highly acclaimed “Piano Night” and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival. He is a regular fixture on the European blues and boogie Woogie festival circuit having played 1000’s of club and theatre, radio and TV dates in a career spanning nearly three decades. Jazz star Jamie Cullum says “I can’t hold a candle to this guy”. Pipkin developed a particular specialisation for the unique flavours of maverick New Orleans piano star James Booker (1939 - 1983) capturing the player’s trademark combination of driving blues married with rhapsodic classical influences. He was invited to play at the world premiere of the documentary “Bayou Maharajah” at SXSW in 2014, and at multiple subsequent screenings of the film. Pipkin regularly performs and records in New Orleans, and has shared stages with legends such as Allen Toussaint, Dr John and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. Grammy award winner Jon Cleary invites him to jam whenever he’s in town. In live shows Pipkin mixes his own compelling songwriting with blues and Big Easy classics.
