The Trio features Shepherd on grand piano, Shane Cooper on double bass and Jonno Sweetman on drums.

"…Shepherd, together with Shane Cooper on double bass and drummer Jonno Sweetman, creating music of subtle yet tremendous power. Though the technique of all three is undeniable, this is no antiseptic chopsfest: it is music of genuine passion, meditative and stately but always emotionally engaged. It has groove at its very core, with hummable, stripped back melodies on top – and not just in the 'head' sections that traditionally top and tail jazz arrangements." Marcus O'Dair | The Arts Desk, United Kingdom

Shepherd recently launched his 3rd Album, 'South African History !X' to critical acclaim. His two previous Albums, 'fineART' and 'A Portrait of Home', attracted South African Music Award nominations and drew recognition worldwide from respected jazz critics and discerning music listeners alike.

Shepherd has performed in Japan, Holland, France, Belgium, The Bird's Eye Jazz Club (Switzerland), the Ă…rhus Jazz Festival (Denmark) as well as at home in South Africa at The Cape Town International Jazz and Joy of Jazz Festivals.


The Kyle Shepherd Trio is set to perform China and Switzerland later this year.

"Jazz and freedom go hand in hand. That explains it. There isn't any more to add to it. If I do add to it, it gets complicated. That's something for you to think about. You think about it and dig it. You dig it..." Thelonious Monk
