Greg Foat

Unstoppable London-based keyboardist and composer Greg Foat returns with his new album, '6 Days in Leysin'. Greg's first memory with the piano goes all the way back to his Aunt's house at aged 3 - where he fell off the piano stool. Since then, his relationship with the piano has evolved into a fulfilling, and successful career. He began taking an interest in composing at the age of 11, and truly ignited his love for Jazz after attending a workshop with Jeff Clyne, Olaf Vas, Trevor Tomkins and Nick Weldon at the age of 15. He then studied jazz at Middlesex University, followed by 6 months in Sweden on an Erasmus grant which lead to his first professional studio session there at 21. Greg has worked as a professional musician ever since, and has moulded a wonderfully multifaceted career within the Jazz music genre.
'6 Days in Leysin' is a concept album is inspired by the beautiful Swiss Village of Leysin. Written and recorded over 6 days high in the Alps, the album features Moses Boyd on drums, Alex Burke (Forest Law) on guitar and the legendary Swiss bass player Elie Ghersinu. The Quartet effortlessly glides through Spiritual Jazz, Italian Library Funk, Alpine Ambient and New Age Synthesiser sounds. The album is a musical postcard and the compositions commemorate the highlights of 6 wonderful days Greg, his family and friends spent in Leysin.
