TOM FORD (UK) & CARLO MUSCAT

In April 2026, the British guitarist and producer Tom Ford will make his Ukraine debut upon invitation of the Maltese Kyiv-based saxophonist Carlo Muscat.
Tom Ford has been a steady member of the UK jazz scene for the past ten years, having regularly performed at Ronnie Scotts, Jazz Cafe, and 91 Living Room, as well as being a regular sideman for Reuben James, Jas Kayser and Jay Phelps. He has also been welcomed
into the US and European jazz scenes, respectively touring and recording with Chris ‘Daddy’ Dave’s Drumhedz, Keyon Harrold, and Pet Eldh’s Projekt Drums, amongst others. Outside of the jazz sphere, he also writes and produces for many people in the commercial world, having worked across the world in LA, NY, Europe and Brazil. In 2025, he dropped his full-length debut album titled ‘goodbye, forever’. It is seen as a creative rebirth, moving away from his past sound and ideas and transitioning to a new version of his artistic self, tapping into the concept of striving for creative growth and personal change. It consists of a diverse mix of genres and influences, with an emphasis on improvisation, and features a lineup of renowned musicians including Chris ‘Daddy’ Dave, Frederico Heliodoro, Anatole Muster, Otis Sandsjo, and Logan Kane.

Carlo Muscat is recognised as one of the most promising voices on the European jazz scene, establishing himself as a saxophonist, composer, and bandleader, culminating in the release of seven albums under his name. His sixth album, Hymns, received critical acclaim, earning a four-star rating from Downbeat Magazine and a place on their Best Albums of 2023 list. This recognition marked a defining moment in his artistic development and his emergence as a distinct presence in contemporary jazz.
On Saturday 11th April, the two will be joined by a Ukrainian rhythm section consisting of Kostiantyn Ionenko on bass, and Danylo Korin on drums. Do not miss the chance to witness this rare collaboration and what promises to be an exhilarating night.
