Chris Diamand

About

Chris Diamand is a versatile and experienced musician, whose background playing many different styles on multiple instruments gives him a unique voice within the ensembles he plays in. He has a particular interest in exploring the intersection of written and improvised music, especially in the context of jazz, both straight-ahead and in jazz-adjacent styles.

Current original projects include the more contemporary Evans/Diamand Trio on electric bass, fusion band Zero Gravity Trio on guitar, as well a brand new Big Band writing collaboration with Italian pianist Lorenzo Bellini. He also regularly performs with guitarist Ted Morcaldi on the double bass, as well as playing guitar on soul singer Gina Sedman’s recent UK tour.

Evans/Diamand Trio

Formed in 2022 after meeting at the Royal Academy of Music, the Evans/Diamand trio brings together Leeds-born brothers Jonah and Toby Evans, on drums and guitar respectively, and electric bassist Chris Diamand. While rooted in a contemporary jazz sense of melody and harmony, the band's original compositions are presented through a lens tinted by blues and alt-rock influences, resulting in a unique sound defined by impressionistic drumming and layered chordal textures from the guitar and bass.
