About this Event
Diarra Walcott-Ivanhoe is a pianist and composer from North London whose lyrical improvisational style and challenging harmonic depth have marked him as a uniquely special musician. His compositions are distinct in their beautifully crafted melodies, and yet there is also a dedication in his playing which speaks to a deep need to push forward and challenge the sound.
Through his work as a solo artist, Diarra seeks to render the most abstruse aspects of the human experience tangible through sound. His compositions aim to translate the inarticulable, and touch on themes such as loss, remembrance, isolation, and personal and familial connection. The Diarra Walcott-Ivanhoe Quintet have inspired audiences through journeys of self-reflection at venues such as the Vortex Jazz Club, 606 Club, and 91 Living Room with jazz re:freshed.
Having grown up in London, Diarra has been immersed in a rich and diverse musical upbringing, exposing him to an array of different genres including jazz, soul, reggae and soca.
