Haydn Callow Trio
The band was formed in January 2006 by London based drummer Haydn Callow to showcase the talents of two exceptional musicians: James Manders (guitar) and Matt Hunt (bass).
The idea was to play the sort of music we really enjoy; to stretch ourselves a bit and play a wide range of jazz from Real Book standards to funk and fusion. We met through a series of function bands and theatre gigs but this is the music we love - guitar based jazz: sparse, tight, funky and very live!
Haydn graduated from Drumtech as the outstanding pupil of the year and now teaches at Drumtech on the Diploma and Degree courses and performs regular master classes.
A writer for Rhythm and Drummer magazines Haydn has played for a host of world class jazz artistes including: Butch Thomas (Sting, Jaco Pastorious, Lenny Kravitz, Elton John); Eddie Severn (lead trumpet Scottish National Jazz Orchestra); Jason Baptiste (award winning Trinidadian Steel drum virtuoso); Jason Carter (sony recording artist) and big bands such as The Urban Big Band and the Mike Smith Orchestra and Singers.
5 string, 4 string and upright bass player Matt Hunt is a superb young talent with a wealth of pop, jazz and theatre experience. From a musical family he was educated at Amersham College and has played for the likes of Don Wright (Squadronnaires) and Dan Forshaw. James Manders is an amazing new talent on the guitar. An alumni of the Guitar Institute he's currently with signed band The Beauty Room. He's played and recorded with the likes of Butch Thomas, Troy Miller and Lawrence Cottle and was lead guitarist for the MAYC Orchestra and Singers.
