For the first time since 2003 Joe Locke, Tim Garland and Geoffrey Keezer will be get ting together again as the “Storms/Nocturnes” trio for a select series of concerts in Germany and Great Britain at the end of February.

Their two critically acclaimed recordings, “Storms/Nocturnes” and “Rising Tide” (Sirocco Music) will be available for purchase at venues on concert nights, or online here.

“This trio is unique. A chamber Jazz form that truly sizzles with virtuosity and creativity.” (Chick Corea)

When the Joe Locke Group made its debut in 2008 at New York's Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, word quickly got out that this was a "can't miss" gig, and the lines outside Jazz at Lincoln Center were proof positive of the fact.

Now, launching the eagerly-awaited new recording “For The Love Of You” (E1 Music) Joe returns with his all star Group featuring Geoffrey Keezer [piano], George Mraz [bass] Clarence Penn [drums] and vocalist Kenny Washington for a six-night residency: January 26 - 31: book early to avoid missing out!
