       Building on the success of a solo EP released in early 2021, Franco-
American jazz pianist Tom Sochas, previously known for his work with London
staple Phoenician Blinds, releases his debut album The Sorcerer, which
introduces Tom's new trio with Greek bassist Thodoris Ziarkas and British
drummer Olly Sarkar.

The record is very much an ode to story-telling, to ancient myths and tales,
whichpresents itself as a present- day reimagining of a classic character. The
album follows a linear story- line through which Tom Sochas blends his love of
hard hitting post- bop and his passion for western classical repertoire to
create an atmosphere rich in risk and solace. His playing is confident and
understated, ranging from Monk-ish lyricism such as in "I Don't Care", to
delicate melodies and counterpoint imbibed with classical vocabulary, as heard
in "Prologue".

From the outset the trio sound is enhanced by the use of subtle analog
electronics, colouring the palette with shadowy textures. Olly Sarkar's artful
use of space, accompanied by Thodoris Ziarkas's avant-garde bass escapisms, make
for a winning combination and add to the trio's originality. The album also
features punctual interventions by long- time collaborators Julian Knapp on
saxophone and Laurie Carpenter on trumpet.
