Description
Born and raised in Burford, Oxfordshire, Eddie Gripper first started learning the piano at age 11. In 2019, he began to study Jazz under the tutelage of Huw Warren at Cardiff University, graduating with First Class Honours in 2021. Since then, Eddie has established himself as a prominent pianist/improviser, composer, and educator in the Southwest region, expressing a broad interest in musical styles, including jazz, folk and electronic music.
Home, Eddie's debut album, consists of a traditional trio format and exhibits a keen rhythmic focus. The development of this vocabulary is evident from beginning to end; metrically challenging grooves are paired with rich, elegant harmonies, culminating in an outcome that is both provocative and gratifying. The stylistic range of compositions (through choice of instrumentation and arrangement) helps to support an overall, arcing narrative. Each track is a journey through time and space - beginning and finishing at a familiar and comforting destination before moving onto new or subtly developed ideas. The trio breathes together as one homogeneous sound, with individual players taking to the spotlight to elaborate on their own interpretations of the music at hand.
Eddie explains: "This album really came out of nowhere for me. Once Covid hit and we all went into lockdown, that's when I really started to take writing music seriously. All of the music featured on this album was written in the space of a year, starting in Spring 2021. It was never supposed to be an album or, at least, I never had that intention from the outset; the whole process was totally serendipitous! This record encapsulates a very important moment in my life - the exact moment where the line was crossed from wanting to write to needing to write." -
