We welcome Yetii to The Greenbank for this special TRIO EDITION of their monthly residency.
Yetii are an acoustic piano trio from Bristol playing a mix of original compositions and their arrangements of popular tunes. Their first studio album Inner Worlds has received critical acclaim including from BBC Radio 3, JazzFM, Jazzwise, and All About Jazz.
The trio combines flowing melodies with expansive group improvisations, interlocking grooves and evolving soundscapes. Yetii have built their following through a sold-out monthly residency at The Greenbank over the last 5 years, including collaborations with Parliamentary Award winner Arun Ghosh, Edition’s Ant Law, and Mercury award nominee Laura Jurd.
