The birds are the musicians, free to express themselves and fly.
The beauty and chaos in nature.

John Turville 


Julian Costello returned to Twickenham Jazz Club with a bag full of new tunes which he will be recording this November. An intrinsic part of the relaunch of Twickenham Jazz Club post lockdown, his music invites the listener to close their eyes and open their soul to a world of warmth, laughter, kindness, frustrations, wistfulness. All expressed by a distinctive musician, a lyrical optimistic man, and his saxophone.

Local favourite Julian Costello packed out the club on 6th October 2021 to play tunes (mostly) from his latest album Connections. Compositions that utilised the talents of Maciek Pysz on guitar were particularly well received by the audience.

Eric Ford

“Julian Costello is a sax lyricist, telling his stories of life’s ups and downs ... to impart strength, humour and even frailty” "There's a sense of graceful lyricism, combined with an inner strength, in the playing of tenor and soprano saxophonist Julian Costello........Costello's improvising is carefully crafted, beauifully structured, and mellow”, John Watson.

Yuri Goloubev
Julian Costello is a London-based musician, composer and teacher. He got a scholarship from Trinity College of Music where he took a Postgraduate Certificate of Performance in the Saxophone. Julian writes the music for the Julian Costello Quartet, plays in a number of jazz big Bands, in a vocal/cello and guitar trio and in a world music trio that uses tabla, guitar/loops and soprano saxophone.

 Transitions, the latest album by the Julian Costello Quartet, will be released in September 2017 on 33 Jazz Records. It was recorded at Artesuono Studio in Udine, Italy and mixed and mastered by ECM engineer Stefano Amerio.

Maciek Pysz
This new Quartet features Maciek Pysz on guitar, Yuri Goloubev/Michele Tacchi on bass  and Adam Teixeira on drums. They have been playing venues in London and the UK to sell out crowds.

This quirky quartet loves to jam, is full of humour and has been playing concerts as a segue, a continuous unbroken set. By the end of the first set, so much tension has built up that the release of pent-up applause by the audience is fantastic. We love jamming!

The critic Ian Mann wrote:

"The combination of soprano saxophone and guitar was highly effective and Costello adopted a warm, clarinet like tone on his soprano ... on an episodic piece that also featured some exquisite interplay between Pysz and Costello."
