Empirical

Founded in 2007, Empirical is ‘still a reliable touchstone of contemporary British jazz at its most sophisticated’ today (Jazzwise).

Featuring Nathaniel Facey (alto sax), Tom Farmer (double bass) and Shaney Forbes (drums), the band settled on its long-lived quartet line-up with Lewis Wright (vibraphone) in 2008. Following Lewis’s move to the USA, the trio have adopted a more flexible line-up, frequently featuring high-calibre guest artists.

Empirical’s eighth full-length album ‘Like Lambs: To The Slaughter’, released in June 2026 on Whirlwind Recordings, features pianist maestro Ivo Neame and guitar virtuoso David Preston. UK piano legend Jason Rebello and rising tenor sax star Alex Hitchcock joined the then quartet on their 2024 release ‘Wonder is the Beginning’ (Whirlwind Recordings).
