NICK COSTLEY-WHITE TRIO [at EHSAA]

Nick Costley-White: Guitar
Conor Chaplin: Bass
James Madden: Drums

Nick Costley-White is one of the most in-demand jazz guitarists in the UK. Renowned for a deep understanding of the jazz tradition, he combines his virtuoso technique with a uniquely distinctive style of improvisation. Costley-White has performed with many of the UK’s most celebrated musicians, and played to audiences across Europe, Asia and Australia.

Nick has released three albums to date, the most recent of which, Poncha, was released in February 2025. It is a deeply personal collection of original compositions. Using a heady brew of cultural influences, his music skilfully blends dance rhythms and playful melodies from Brazil and Cuba with the harmony and swing of American jazz. Within the tunes lie a melodic and highly rhythmic approach to composition interpreted with style, flair and energy.

For this session, Nick will be playing with James Maddren and Conor Chaplin, who together form one of the most renowned and exciting rhythm sections in the world, regularly performing with the likes of Gwilym Simcock and Brad Mehldau.
