ABOUT
"I appreciate musicians that understand that simply being the very best musician you can possibly be is what's most important, while also understanding that those skills mirror your inner self. Gabriel is an excellent musician and one hell of a nice guy." CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE
"For my money, London-born Gabriel Latchin is the best straight-ahead jazz pianist to appear in the past few years... I'll Be Home for Christmas – the gift that keeps on giving." The Guardian ⭐⭐⭐⭐
British pianist, composer and bandleader, Gabriel Latchin has made a name for himself as one of the UK’s finest musicians, praised by critics and world renowned musicians alike. Known for his effortlessly swinging feel, deep repertoire and compelling performances, Jazzwise recently described his playing as “impeccable... the clarity of his lines evoking something of Hank Jones or Tommy Flanagan”. High praise comes also from The Guardian, writing he is “the best straight-ahead jazz pianist to appear in the past few years."
2025 sees the release of the trio’s fifth album, The Man I Love - a heartfelt tribute to the enduring work of George and Ira Gershwin. The collection of favourite songs from America’s preeminent composer and lyricist are presented here with new arrangements, drawing on influences such as Claude Debussy, Bill Evans and John Coltrane. This builds on the success of Latchin’s previous four records - 45 million streams to date - which have been met with critical acclaim worldwide: “this is a masterpiece that shows the true skill of his composition” - Jazz Japan.
