   About Sam Leak
Myspace Images "Sam Leak is one of the brightest young stars in the jazz piano galaxy, a heavenly improviser and a brilliant prospect for the future." - Helen Mayhew

"a truly exciting and developmental player" - Gerard Presencer

I'm a Jazz Piano player from Cricklewood in North London. I run the band Aquarium with James Allsopp, Calum Gourlay and Josh Blackmore, and the Sam Leak Trio with James Opstad (Double Bass) and Dave Hamblett (Drums)

‘Aquarium’ play entirely my original music, and the Trio perform original music by all three of us. I have performed widely throughout the UK, have supported Benny Golson at Ronnie Scott’s, and I played at the 2008 Glastonbury Music Festival. I have appeared as a sideman on two albums. In 2008 I performed with US bass virtuoso Janek Gwizdala (Mike Stern, Randy Brecker) and performed a piano duet with John Taylor as part of Stan Sultzman's birthday Big Band concert. I am a current student at the Royal Academy of Music, studying under Gwilym Simcock (Jazz) and Pascal Nemirovski (Classical).
