"Tim Richards' piano playing has the distinction of being both adventurous and immediately attractive."
THE OBSERVER

"A highly distinctive solo voice, blues and gospel tinged, but with a percussive drive betraying his roots in hard bop."
THE INDEPENDENT

"Digs deep into the groove bag..."
TIME OUT

"A fluent, lucid but vigorous pianist... Richards' playing is luminusly funky... laced with the blues."
JAZZ - THE ROUGH GUIDE

On this site you can find out about my personal journey as a jazz pianist and composer, There are also links to my YouTube channel and the MusicGurus online video courses that accompany my 'Beginning', 'Improvising' and 'Exploring' range of books, published by Schott.

You can listen to my music via links to SoundCloud and YouTube. There are also links to my 'Jazz Piano Library' podcasts featuring famous jazz and blues pianists - most are hosted by Morley Radio, but there are also links to older BBC Radio 3 'Jazz Library' archive material that I thought had been lost for good until recently.

My weekly group classes are now face-to-face at Morley College again. However the Covid crisis has opened up the online teaching world and it's been a learning lifeline for many. I continue to offer one-to-one lessons online via Zoom. Find out more about my teaching HERE.

There is still time to sign up for some of my SHORT COURSES coming up soon at CITY LIT, Covent Garden, PREMISES STUDIOS, Hackney and BENSLOW MUSIC, Hitchin.
