PETE ROTH TRIO
The band creates jazz for a new generation of music enthusiasts, exploring beyond traditional jazz conventions. A jazz standard might reveal its essence only in the final moments of performance. Roth’s original compositions, such as “Dancing with Grace,” the Trio’s collaborative works like “Trio in Five” and “Looking Forward to Looking Back,” or their reinterpretation of masterworks like Anton Dvorak’s “Largo from Symphony #9,” offer just a few gateways into the creative world of the Pete Roth Trio—a world that will likely reshape your perspective on what the guitar trio format can achieve.

A standard might reveal all, but only in the dying embers of its performance. Roth’s own compositions such as ‘Dancing with Grace’, the Trio’s collective compositions such as ‘Trio in Five’ or ‘Looking Forward to Looking Back’, or their reassembling of existing masterworks like Anton Dvorak’s ‘Largo from Symphony #9’ offer but three points of entry into the creative world of the Pete Roth Trio, a world you’re unlikely to leave without reassessing your views of what the guitar trio format remains capable of.
Pete Roth-Guitar
Equipped with a diverse array of influences and a passion for innovation, Roth embarked on a solo career as a leader, culminating in the recording of two albums under the banner of MGP Records.
Yet, his artistic journey continues to evolve, as he now stands on the cusp of a new endeavour.
With his sights set on exploring fresh musical territories, Roth is poised to embark on his first trio adventure. He is set to weave intricate melodies and rhythms, crafting imaginative jazz compositions that resonate with a new generation of music enthusiasts.
Mike Pratt Bass
Mike is a double bass and bass guitar player, composer and producer based in London. He has recently written and performed with country artist and TV presenter Laura Evans, West End musical star Oliver Tompsett, and nineties soul band Curiosity Killed the Cat.
Mike is currently producing songs for Jamie Johnson, semi-finalist of The Voice. On the London jazz scene, Mike has performed with Acantha Lang, Dave O’Higgins, Liane Carroll and Duncan Eagles, and at venues including Ronnie Scott’s, The Jazz Cafe, the Royal Albert Hall and the Cape Town Jazz Festival.
Feat. Bill Bruford
Internationally known as a rock musician, our ‘Special Guest’ drummer Bill Bruford also has impeccable jazz credentials, having recorded, performed with or written music for Al Di Meola, the Buddy Rich Orchestra, David Torn, Allan Holdsworth, Tim Garland, Django Bates, Iain Ballamy and Chris Botti among others.
He was voted into Modern Drummer magazine’s Hall of Fame (1990), named by Rolling Stone magazine as #16 Greatest Drummer of All Time (2016) and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of ‘Yes’ (2017).
“The UK scene is and always has been blessed with more than its fair share of outstanding guitar talent. I, for one, would be very surprised if Roth did not rise to its top ranks.” – Rainlore’s World of Music/Rainlore
“Roth’s compositions range from instantly memorable melodies giving rise to filigree-delicate acoustic work“. – Vortex Jazz
