Tom Ollendorf Trio
Tom Ollendorff: Tom Ollendorff is fast becoming one of the most exciting guitarists to emerge on the UK and international jazz scenes. Tom is known for his highly distinctive sound which blends virtuosic guitar playing with sophisticated harmonic and melodic ideas, whilst always keeping room for nuance and sensitivity. Since beginning his professional career in 2016, he has had the opportunity to work alongside many highly respected artists including Nitai Hershkovits, Ben Wendel, Bill McHenry, Jeff Williams, Geoff Simkins and Ari Hoenig. In 2022 he published his first works for solo guitar with Faber Music.
Conor Chaplin: Born in the south west of Ireland and then growing up mostly in Surrey, Conor Chaplin studied at Trinity College of Music in Greenwich under the tutelage of Simon Purcell, Steve Watts, and others.

He is currently touring mainly with such projects as Marius Neset's 'Happy' Quintet, rising star saxophonist Emma Rawicz, Laura Jurd's Mercury Prize nominated group Dinosaur, and guitarist Tom Ollendorff's trio. Between these regular projects and other one-off occasions he has had the pleasure of touring extensively throughout the UK, North America, Europe and Asia and has been fortunate to perform with diverse artists including Kit Downes, Ben Van Gelder, Reinier Baas, Thomas Strønen, Bobo Stenson, Harold Mabern, George Garzone, Billy Cobham, Jacob Collier, Jesse Van Ruller, Iain Ballamy, Julian Siegel, Natalie Williams, Ivo Neame, Tony Tixier, Keyon Harrold, Stan Sulzmann, Bobby Wellins and many others.
