Liam Noble (musician)

Liam Noble (born 15 November 1968) is a British jazz pianist, composer, arranger and educator.

[1] Noble's 2004 recording Romance Among the Fishes was a quartet album, with Phil Robson (guitar), Drew Gress (bass) and Tom Rainey (drums).

[2] Noble and Robson had often played together, but the four had been put together earlier the same year for an appearance at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival.

[5] Noble teaches at the Royal Academy of Music,[6] Trinity Laban,[7] the Birmingham Conservatoire[8] and the University of Kent.

[9] Critic John Fordham, writing in 2005, commented that "Noble likes a mixture of staccato, drily witty themes that suggest a collision of Steve Coleman and Django Bates with Wayne Shorter – and with Canadian piano guru Paul Bley in the quieter episodes".
