Fergus McCreadie Trio

Critically acclaimed Scottish pianist Fergus McCreadie delves into the essence of water with music from his new album, Stream.

In the dynamic landscape of contemporary jazz, Scottish pianist and composer Fergus McCreadie has carved a remarkable niche. Since 2021 his career has skyrocketed, propelled into the international limelight by two acclaimed releases. His debut album Cairn (2021) set the stage for a journey deeply rooted in natural themes, while Forest Floor (2022) was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize and clinched Scottish Album of the Year - the first Scottish jazz album to do so. 

McCreadie's latest venture, Stream, continues this intriguing exploration, this time delving into the essence of water. Accompanied by his long-standing comrades David Bowden (double bass) and Stephen Henderson (drums), Fergus’ music flows through the rich landscapes of Scottish folklore and the sophisticated avenues of contemporary jazz, blending them seamlessly.

Fergus McCreadie is a current BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist.
