Fergus McCreadie Trio

Labeled "simply outstanding" by JazzWise Magazine, the Fergus McCreadie trio blurs the lines between Jazz and Scottish Music. Tunes feature the improvisation and harmony of Jazz, but it is the introduction of Folk melodies and rhythms that make this music so alluring. Influences from Keith Jarrett, Pat Metheny and Jan Garbarek can be heard, but folk artists such as The Gloaming and Lau also have a strong pull on the sound. The trio have featured in Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Lithuania, and are set to appear at the legendary Ronnie Scott's International Piano Trio Festival in August.

Turas

'Turas' is the debut album by the Fergus McCreadie Trio. The title of the album is the Scottish Gaelic word for Journey, and the feeling of travel and place is conveyed strongly throughout the compositions on the record. The trio has travelled a lot across Scotland (having rehearsed intensely in the north of Scotland in the lead up to the recording) and this feeling of place and journey shines through in the playing on the album. The overall result is one of evocative musical landscapes and a satisfying combination of the Jazz and Folk idioms.
