EMPIRICAL picture
Empirical are an established British Jazz Band, comprising of Nathaniel Facey (saxophone), Lewis Wright (vibraphone), Tom Farmer (double Bass) and Shaney Forbes (Drums). Empirical are known for producing forward looking, risk taking, creative music. Each member has a uniquely equal role in the musical direction of the band, brought together through the core ethos of experimentation.

Formed in 2007 as part of the Tomorrow’s Warrios scheme, and following the release of ‘Empirical’ (Destin-e), settled on the current lineup in 2008. Their in depth tribute to Eric Dolphy, ‘Out ‘n’ In’ (Naim), led to a MOBO award in 2010 for Best Jazz Act. After the 2011 release, ‘Elements of Truth’ (Naim), Empirical are now touring their 2013 album ‘Tabula Rasa’ (Naim), featuring the Benyounes Quartet.

Empirical have developed a strong live performance, presenting audiences around the world with challenging new music. Highlights include:
