Curios

2008 BBC Jazz Awards Band of the Year. Curios were formed in 2006 by award-winning pianist and composer Tom Cawley. A piano trio, they play Cawley's original compositions. Their sound is influenced by romantic classical music as much as by jazz, and relies on a deep empathy between the players. As well as Cawley, the other members of the band are Sam Burgess (double bass) and Joshua Blackmore (drums).
