Biography Liam Noble

Liam Noble (born in London on 15 November 1968) is a British jazz pianist, composer, arranger and educator. He has also recorded as Ingrid Laubrock & Liam Noble and as Christine Tobin And Liam Noble.

After studying music at the University of Oxford and at postgraduate level at the Guildhall School of Music, Noble played with saxophonist Stan Sulzmann in duo and quartet performances. He then played in several bands, including those led by Harry Beckett, John Stevens and Anita Wardell. In 1997, Noble joined Bobby Wellins' band.

Noble's 2004 recording Romance Among the Fishes was a quartet album, with Phil Robson (guitar), Drew Gress (bass) and Tom Rainey (drums); Noble and Robson had often played together, but the four had been put together earlier the same year for an appearance at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival.

In 2006, he released the album "Let's Call This..." with saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock as Ingrid Laubrock & Liam Noble.

Noble's 2009 trio album, Brubeck, was described by the dedicatee, Dave Brubeck, as "an inspiration and a challenge for me to carry on in the avenues that you [Noble] have opened".

In 2010, Noble accompanied vocalist Christine Tobin, as Christine Tobin And Liam Noble, on the album "Tapestry Unravelled", a reworking of Carole King's Tapestry from four decades earlier.

In 2015, Noble released the solo piano album A Room Somewhere.
