This critically-acclaimed debut album, 'The Cynic', by UK pianist Zoe Rahman with drummer Winston Clifford and bassist Jeremy Brown, was short-listed for the BBC Radio 3 Jazz Album of the Year review in 2001 and was described in Straight no Chaser magazine as “one of the best jazz albums of the year”. Following the success of this debut CD, Zoe was nominated in the ‘Rising Star’ category of the 2001 BBC Jazz Awards. In 1999 she won the ‘Perrier Young Jazz Musician of the Year’ Award, which led to her recording three tracks on a Jazz FM-produced compilation, with drummer Daniel Crosby and bassist Orlando Le Fleming.

She has been featured on many radio and television programmes including Courtney Pine’s ‘Jazz Crusade’ ‘Women’s Hour’, and Julian Joseph’s Jazz series for Meridian Television. She has performed live on the BBC World Service and on Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’. Aside from working with her own groups, she continues to perform, record and tour with a diverse range of other artists, most recently: Clark Tracey’s New Quintet; Soothsayers; Tony Bianco; Steve Williamson; Gary Boyle; and Keziah Jones.

Born in Chichester, UK, Zoe studied music at Oxford University and jazz performance at Berklee College of Music, Boston, where she had lessons with the inspirational pianist JoAnne Brackeen. While in America she formed her own trio, which featured bassist Joshua Davis and the renowned drummer Bob Moses.
