Trevor Edwards

Trevor Edwards is a London-based trombonist known for his warm tone, rhythmic precision and adaptability across a wide range of jazz and contemporary styles. Over several decades he has worked with many leading British ensembles, including the influential Jazz Warriors, a pioneering collective that helped redefine the UK jazz landscape in the 1980s.

A graduate of the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Edwards began his career as both a section and solo trombonist in projects that bridged jazz, funk and orchestral work. His versatility has made him a first call for composers and arrangers seeking a trombone voice that can move seamlessly from lush ensemble textures to direct, lyrical solos.

He has performed with a wide variety of artists and bands, appearing at venues such as Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club and the Barbican, and contributing to studio sessions for film, television and jazz recordings.

In performance, Edwards combines traditional trombone phrasing with an expressive, contemporary edge. He plays with a clear sense of melodic purpose and a grounded rhythmic feel that keeps the music connected to its roots.

Trevor Edwards continues to be an essential presence in British jazz, valued for his professionalism, musical curiosity and the effortless way he connects tradition with modern sound.
