Elf is truly a meeting of like musical minds. Nothing is out of bounds. Everything goes into the mix - classical, folk, jazz, rock, latin, musicals and more.

Dave and Andy are indispensable members of the world renowned Michael Nyman Band, whilst Geoff is one of Europe’s most inspirational jazz pianists. Aside from being 3 of London’s most in-demand studio musicians, they are also international solo artists in their own right, all three having recorded their own critically acclaimed albums.

Apart from original compositions and arrangements from within the group, Elf are fortunate in being able to call upon writers from across the spectrum, from Andrew Lloyd Webber to Michael Nyman. Anyone who knows Geoff, Dave and Andy will tell you that they are larger than life characters and their intense love of music and, indeed life in general, all help to create the unique sound that is Elf.

Elf project:
“Phantasia, recorded here, provided the catalyst for the formation of ELF. The idea crystallized during a touring period with the Michael Nyman Band, of which Andy and I are both members. From our experiences in the Band we knew that horn and flute worked well together. We hoped the combination would help broaden both our repertoire and our musical challenges. There was no other choice for pianist other than Geoff. We had all known one another for a long time, shared mutual respect and good humour. Together we agreed on a repertoire that encompassed our joint experiences, the reflections on which have given us a new way forward. We hope you enjoy the journey.” - Dave Lee
