Pat Thomas (born 27 July 1960) is a jazz pianist from Oxford, England.
Biography
Thomas received a Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award for Artists in 2014. Several of his recordings were released in 2019: "from the ruminative post-bop piano trio heard on BleySchool, the free improv of the collective trio Shifa, an exploratory trio with reedist John Butcher and drummer Ståle Liavik Solberg on Fictional Souvenirs and a stunning live solo piano set of Duke Ellington music available digitally from London's Cafe Oto". Thomas is part of the band Ahmed, a quartet with Antonin Gerbal, Joel Grip and Seymour Wright inspired by the music of Ahmed Abdul-Malik; their New Jazz Imagination was released by Umlaut in 2017 and was followed by Super Majnoon (East Meets West).
