Ben Wilcock - The River Tethys

Pianist Ben Wilcock has released an astonishing sci-fi inspired album ‘The River Tethys’ on Thick Records NZ. With this trio Wilcock breaks away from convention in his most contemporary project to date through an eclectic mix of harmonic centres and brave improvisations.

Joining him for this performance will be John Rae on drums and Mostyn Cole on bass.

"Wilcock is an engaging pianist and composer. At times his playing brings to mind Thelonious Monk, particularly in the faster bop tracks” - London Jazz News

Wilcock’s extreme eclecticism runs from vigorous, sometimes minimalist, free improvisations to rhapsodic solos which will be deeply attractive to the listener”
- Eric Meyers, The Australian
