British pianist and composer Gabriel Latchin has made a name for himself as one of the UK’s finest musicians, praised internationally by critics and world renowned musicians alike. Known for his effortlessly swinging feel and compelling performances, Latchin was recently praised by The Guardian as “the best straight-ahead jazz pianist to appear in the past few years."
Now a major highlight on the UK jazz scene, The Gabriel Latchin Trio take inspiration from Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson and Herbie Hancock. Viewpoint, the trio’s fourth record, features highly-acclaimed drummer Joe Farnsworth (NYC) and first-call bassist Jeremy Brown (UK) on a new album of all original, straight-ahead compositions.
With thousands of albums sold and 30 million streams, Latchin’s international presence is growing fast. Recently awarded four stars in both The Times and The Guardian, the trio has also been featured in DownBeat (USA) and Jazz Japan.

"Latchin's unpretentious piano performance embodies the beauty of modern jazz. Not only is his handling of standards through tempo changes pleasing to the ear, this is a masterpiece that shows the true skill of his composition.' - Jazz Japan, July 2019, Hiroki Sugita
