About

Robert Sudall is a jazz pianist, organist and composer, with a musical outlook of unique scope and ambition.  Studying organ at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, Robert has since developed into a musician with a huge array of musical interests and influences. Drawing on genres as diverse as classical, jazz and folk, to world, electronic and rock, he is continually seeking new sources of inspiration from which to grow and deepen his craft.

As a performer, Robert has given concerts across the UK and Europe, both as a soloist and as part of his contemporary piano trio, ‘Motion Complex’. Prior to the pandemic, during 2019, Robert played a series of piano recitals around the UK, in which he performed entirely improvised sets. These events offered a musical freedom and challenge that greatly appealed to Robert’s musical imaginings.

Having recorded several albums over the last decade, all featuring his own compositions, Robert's second album ‘Silently Evolving’ was played extensively on BBC Radio 2. This was recorded on the beautiful Wurlitzer theatre organ at Victoria Hall, in the World Heritage Site of Saltaire, UK.

Robert is in extensive demand as both an accompanist and teacher. He has accompanied choral societies across the Yorkshire region and is the regular accompanist for Ilkley Choral Society and Cantores Olicanae. Since 2017 he has been one of the ballet pianists for the academy of Northern Ballet.

His latest, upcoming project will showcase an entirely new band of musicians. With Robert on Hammond C3 organ, this recording will bring jazz, funk and blues styles to the fore, and will see Robert collaborating with long-time musical partner Grant Russell, as well as new collaborators Darren Dutson-Bromley (guitar) and Mark Lewalski (drums).
