Andrew McCormack is a composer and pianist at the peak of his
creative powers. Born in 1978 in the UK and now residing in New
York, McCormack has built a formidable reputation as one of
Britain's hottest pianists and a skilful composer of huge talent.
In 2007 he burst onto the scene with his debut album, Telescope, a
masterful record converging McCormack's inimitable free flowing
melodic lines with his rhythmic impulse.
Since then, McCormack has extensively toured the globe as
a bandleader with his trio and with the saxophonist, Jason
Yarde. The McCormack&Yarde Duo released a series of highly
acclaimed albums including MY Duo in 2010, and Places And
Other Spaces in 2011.
McCormack has been a driving force within the groups of A-
listers Kyle Eastwood, Eric Alexander, Denys Baptiste and Jean
Toussant, as well as a host of other leading artists.
Having developed and honed a skilfully original approach
to writing and performance in the jazz tradition, he’s able to
captivate audiences with his emotional and expressive style.
His music is quality-driven with a yearning emotive aesthetic,
which may be described as quintessentially British. Yet, his move
to New York has brought out a greater depth to swing, interplay
and mesmeric live sound.
The result is a world-class pianist and formidable composer, who
is ready to take that defining next step on to the international
stage as a solo artist. With a stable home at Edition Records,
new management, a host of weighty press campaigns and a new
forthcoming trio album with New York musicians (Zack Lober on
bass and Colin Stranahan on drums), 2014 looks set to be the most
defining year of Andrew McCormack's musical career to date.
