Acoustic Triangle
Worcester Cathedral


Malcolm Creese's trio Acoustic Triangle serves up an innovative blend of melodic modern jazz and European contemporary 'classical' music. The trio performs in carefully picked concert halls, churches and festivals, without any form of amplification.

Acoustic Triangle toured England and Wales in summer and autumn 2005 - mainly in churches and cathedrals. The group's 2005 Tour of Sacred Places took in 28 wonderful buildings.

In 2003 Acoustic Triangle introduced a new pianist - 22 year old Gwilym Simcock. Gwilym, who replaced the great John Horler, is one of the most exciting musicians the UK has produced in a long time, and undoubtedly destined for stardom. Gwilym is equally at home playing jazz piano, classical piano or French horn. (He has already toured with Kenny Wheeler's band on both instruments!) He is also a gifted composer. Acoustic Triangle's second album Catalyst and the new album Resonance feature Gwilym's remarkable playing skills as well as some of his own compositions.

Alongside Malcolm and Gwilym is composer and reeds player Tim Garland. Arguably the finest saxophonist in the world today, Tim tours regularly with Chick Corea and Bill Bruford, as well as leading his own groups. He's also a composer of great stature - recently appointed 'composer-in-residence' at Newcastle University. Tim has been a member of Acoustic Triangle since it began.
