CORRIE DICK: ‘SUN SWELLS’ album launch featuring ROB LUFT and LAURA JURD
+ Joe English Trio
Corrie celebrates the launch of “Sun Swells” with a star-studded quintet of big names in
contemporary jazz.
At the rhythmic epicentre of a new era of innovative British jazz is Corrie Dick, a musician and composer specialising in euphoric, sonically-inventive drumming. He is lauded for his
dynamism, his melodic slant and for his playfully subversive take on style and genre. An artist of prolific and varied output, Corrie has long been an essential component of Laura Jurd’s music including Mercury Prize shortlisted Dinosaur, is a crucial co-pilot in the Elliot Galvin Trio and Rob Luft Group; and co-writes music with an abundance of artists including alternative Indie band Ink Line. His 2015 release, Impossible Things which skilfully fused Celtic folk and contemporary jazz with new takes on African rhythms culminated in sold out concerts across the UK. Now Corrie resets for a new album ‘Sun Swells’ released on 21/10/22 which further embraces the eclectic whims of a child of the iPod shuffle generation – finding cohesion among disparate elements.
An active participant in South East London’s evergreen arts scene, Deptford, the young master of contemporary drumming has studied traditional music in Ghana and Morocco where the grooves are rich and layered, and in his home land, Scotland, where rhythm and melody have melded for centuries. Corrie is an original, open-minded, questing talent who is expanding the parameters of what it means to be a drummer.

Young, local rising star pianist Joe leads his trio for the whole season of Jazzups as part of our Youth Jazz initiative. This is enabled primarily by the proceeds from the JazzUp Spring
Draw, which took place for the two limited edition Charlie Parker prints by artist (and bassist of The Specials) Horace Panter.
