“The band transcends mere excellence and moves into the realms of the extraordinary.’ ‘Massively recommended” – BBC Music Magazine

‘…sets the bar high for album of the year. It’ll take some beating.’ – Jazz Journal

QOW TRIO is a unique multi-generational band featuring young firebrand saxophonist Riley Stone Lonergan, British Jazz legend Spike Wells (Tubby Hayes, Bobby Wellins) on drums, and multi-genre bassist and bandleader Eddie Myer.

The trio’s most recent album ‘The Hold Up’ was released in January 2024 on Ubuntu Music.
An extensive UK tour is underway and the plan is to take the music into Europe and beyond.

QOW TRIO came together, united by a love of the tradition, to explore the freedom that opens up within the three-way saxophone-bass-drums format. Their influences reach back across the history of the music, and look forward into its future, drawing inspiration from its constant evolution, from Lester Young to Charlie Parker to Sonny Rollins to Joe Henderson to Dewey Redman to Seamus Blake to Bill McHenry and beyond, creating a wide-open trio sound that tells a host of exciting stories.
