British pianist and composer Greg Foat performs at Babylon on Thursday 30 April as part of International Jazz Day, bringing his distinctive blend of jazz, ambient textures, and cinematic composition to Istanbul, presented by Loftcaz. Known for bridging classic jazz traditions with contemporary production and analog sound design, Foat presents a live set shaped by atmosphere, groove, and melodic depth. Tickets are available via Passo.
A key figure in the UK’s modern jazz scene, Foat has built a prolific discography that spans solo piano works, full ensemble recordings, and collaborative projects. Albums such as The Mage, Symphonie Pacifique, and Dolphin highlight his ability to move between lush orchestration, minimalism, and rhythm-driven compositions, often drawing inspiration from film scores, library music, and 1970s jazz-funk.
In a live setting, Foat’s performances unfold with a strong sense of flow, balancing improvisation with composed sections. Whether performing solo or with an ensemble, his sets often move between introspective passages and more groove-oriented moments, maintaining a cohesive atmosphere throughout.
As part of International Jazz Day, this performance offers a contemporary take on jazz that expands beyond traditional boundaries, presenting a sound shaped by experimentation, cinematic influence, and modern production.
