Saxophonist and composer Trish Clowes leads her quartet MY IRIS, with Chris Montague (guitar), Ross Stanley (piano/Hammond organ), and Joel Barford (drums). With an international reputation for intricate writing and adventurous improvisation, Clowes provides her bandmates with an abundance of space for exploration, spontaneity, and kinetic provocation. A new album with the quartet is due to be released in Spring 2026, presenting a new set of vibrant compositions.
Clowes is currently an Associate Artist at Wigmore Hall (London), and her recorded music can be found on US indie label Greenleaf Music, and UK labels Stoney Lane Records & Basho Records.
MY IRIS have toured internationally and made broadcasts for BBC Radio 3 and Radio Bremen. In May 2024 the band were joined by US trumpeter-composer Dave Douglas (who is also the artistic director of Greenleaf Music) for a series of dates at the Pizza Express Jazz Club in London, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, and Bray Jazz Festival in Ireland. Other notable performances for the band include Wigmore Hall, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, Karlsruhe Jazz Festival, LOFT Cologne, Rochester International Jazz Festival (US, Made In The UK showcase), Toronto International Jazz Festival, Galway Jazz Festival, and the Barbican (London Jazz Festival).
“brilliant”
“Trish Clowes is one of the brightest stars to have emerged during the so-called British jazz boom of the past decade or more...she is a musician of great sensitivity and strength.”
