Triumvirate are an improvisation trio featuring Larry Bartley on bass, Moses Boyd on drums and Denys Baptiste on tenor sax. The concept of the group is based around experimentation with classic pop songs penned by important songwriters, including Paul McCartney, Cyndi Lauper, Bill Withers and Leonard Cohen, creating open improvised pieces based on the melodies. Each concert interweaves both the melody and improvisation in surprising ways whilst keeping the listener engaged with recognisable sounds.

‘The concept of Triumvirate, entirely unique to my ears, is to build a continuous seamless improvised ‘spontaneous suite’ which pulls together wholly original interpretations of tunes. The effect is to pull you in entrap and enchant. The musicianship is impeccable. I was struck by the brilliance and originality of the concept, Denys is unquestionably one of the most essential artists on the UK Jazz scene’ Jez Nelson, BBC Jazz on 3
