Yetii (UK)

We welcome “Yetii” to Jazz in Reading for this very special one-off gig as part of their UK Tour in support of their first studio album “Inner Worlds”.

“Yetii” are an acoustic piano trio from Bristol playing a mix of original compositions and their arrangements of popular tunes. Their album “Inner Worlds” has been released to widespread critical acclaim including from BBC Radio 3, JazzFM, Jazzwise, and All About Jazz and we
look forward to welcoming the band to The Progress Theatre for the first time!

Alex Veitch - piano, compositions
Ashley John Long - double bass
Alex Goodyear - drums

“All played with great beauty and sensitivity… A standing ovation greeted the end of their set.”
★★★★ Jazzwise

“You get lost in their synergy, all feeling the same deep pulse” Soweto Kinch, BBC Radio 3

“Lyrical and meditative” ★★★★ All About Jazz

“They play together in the telepathic fashion of the finest trios” UK Jazz News

“A performance that both enthralled and delighted the audience” ★★★★★ The Jazz Mann

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 in Bristol over the last 5 years, including collaborations with Parliamentary Award winner Arun Ghosh, Edition’s Ant Law, and Mercury award nominee Laura Jurd.

They went on to play their concert hall debut to a sold out 400-strong crowd in Bristol in early 2025, supported The Bad
Plus on their recent UK tour, and look forward to their biggest tour to date in support of “Inner Worlds”! For fans of EST, The Bad Plus, and Fergus McCreadie.
