Following the widespread acclaim of Stream (2024), Fergus McCreadie returns with Stream (Revisited), a new EP that breathes fresh life into tracks from Stream and Turas (2018). This release showcases the trio’s evolution, shaped by years of live performance, deepening musical connections, and an ever-expanding creative dialogue.

McCreadie’s trio has long been praised for its fluidity, connection, and ability to blur the lines between jazz and Scottish folk traditions. Stream (Revisited) is a testament to that instinctive interplay, an intimate yet expansive exploration of pieces that have transformed through time on stage. The EP offers a rare glimpse into how this music breathes, reshapes itself, and deepens in meaning with every performance.

Critics have already hailed McCreadie as “the highest profile Scottish jazz musician since Tommy Smith” (Marlbank) and a pianist with “a very distinctive voice that’s immediately recognisable” (Jazzwise). His ability to weave delicate folk-infused melodies into sweeping improvisational arcs has drawn comparisons to some of the most revered jazz pianists of today.

“Making a triptych as good as Cairn, Forest Floor and Stream is surreal and impossible. McCreadie does it.” – Written in Music

“Fergus McCreadie’s trio can go toe-to-toe with many of the best piano trios in contemporary jazz.” – Jazz Journal

As McCreadie readies a new studio album for 2025, Stream (Revisited) stands as both a reflection and a promise—an invitation to revisit the past while anticipating what’s next for one of the UK’s most vital musical voices.
