Sam Green Projects
Sam is involved in a number of projects, whether composing, recording or touring. The following examples are by no means an extensive list, but they do showcase a selection of projects with which he’s currently involved.
Rivers & Lakes
Drawing inspiration from nature. Whether it be the lakes and fells of Cumbria, the valleys of South Wales, the Brecon Beacons, Yorkshire Dales or the coastal fjords of Norway, Sam’s personal journey is retold through a series of original jazz soundscapes and compositions.
Rivers & Lakes provides a platform for Sam’s original writing, brought to life by some of his closest friends and collabor, each talented musicians in their own right.
Orbit Street
Founded as a solo project by UK Young Jazz Musician of the Year, Ursula Harrison, Orbit Street has subsequently blossomed into a fully fledged indie jazz-infused band. Orbit Street were selected as a Forté Project artist for 2024, recording a new EP, ‘Forest’ and performing across Wales and the South West.
Nils Kavanagh Trio
The combination of piano, bass and drums could be described as the quintessential jazz format. Young Jazz Musician of the Year finalist Nils, Sam and Marcus toured Ireland throughout the summer of 2023, delighting audiences with their original compositions.
The tour culminated in a sell out performance at Hawk’s Well Theatre, opening the Sligo Jazz Project festival. The trio will be on tour again, late 2025.
Statues of Men
‘Welsh rock at it’s finest’ - Bethan Elfyn (BBC Radio Wales)
Sam’s involvement in Statues of Men builds on a tradition of collaboration that sits at the heart and soul of jazz music. The skills of a jazz drummer impart a sense of light, shade and subtlety, elements often lost in the rhythms of rock music. Naturally Sam lays down a groove and texture that readily showcases the talents of the whole band, recording in Pembrokeshire, Wales and performing nationally.
