 It’s been just over 2 months since Troyka’s debut album was released and they have had some fantastic press and sales to match. Check out some reviews below:
“Troyka are fast becoming a force to be reckoned with; like King Crimson for the iPod generation”. Time Out
“...the virtuosity and power of the jamming makes your hair stand on end.” Guardian ****
“Troyka are widely tipped to create the kind of interest that Acoustic Ladyland and Polar Bear made when they first arrived on the London scene.” Observer Music Monthly ****
“Mingus-meets-Motorhead melange of garage rock, improvised jazz, metronomic beats and extreme volume.” Independent ****
"Cerebral without being self-consciously playful without seeming glib, this fine debut is simply bursting with intelligence and wit". Jazzwise ****
Troyka are playing 2 concerts at the London Jazz Festival in November:
Friday 20th Nov – Southbank Centre, Clore Ballroom – 1pm FREE ENTRY
Friday 20th Nov – Jazz Café, Camden (supporting Polar Bear and Zed-U) – 7.30pm

“Young Loop Collective-affiliated pianist Neame has a refreshing, melodic approach laced with plenty of sly modern flourishes and a knack for a writing a good tune”. Time Out
Title: Caught in the Light of Day
Musicians: Ivo Neame – piano | Jim Hart – vibes | Jasper Hoiby – double bass | James Maddren – drums
Release Date: 30th November 2009 | Cat No: EDN1016
 Over the last few years Ivo Neame has recorded and performed throughout the world on piano and saxophone with diverse artists such as Matthew Herbert, Seb Rochford, F-ire collective big band, Stan Sulzmann, Tim Garland, Jim Mullen, Cinematic Orchestra, Gerard Presencer, Mark Lockheart, Alec Dankworth, Gilad Atzmon, Henry Lowther and Julian Siegel. Now it is his turn to shine!
His new album ‘Caught In The Light of Day’ demonstrates the combined brilliance of his writing and playing. Listen to it once and you’ll be impressed. Listen twice and its gifts will begin to unfold. The quality of the writing and the performances are immediately apparent but on repeated listens you hear how the musicians foster and nurture these compositions. Neame trusts his team and lets them take the form of each track into their own hands. This record is about interplay, about letting the music breathe.
