Jamie Pye is a London-based jazz guitarist and composer with roots in both Australia and New
Zealand. He performs in various line ups and contexts; from intimate duo residencies, to
headline performances as a bandleader showcasing his original music. He is often part of house
bands for jam sessions around town, or as a sideman on other projects.
In 2023, Jamie completed his first 10-date national tour around New Zealand, including
appearances at the Creative Jazz Club in Auckland and Hanover Hall in Dunedin. In between
shows, Jamie recorded his debut album ‘Monochrome’, released in November 2024 on Good
Twin Records.
As a composer, Jamie draws influence from all music and art forms, paying particular attention
to the work of composers and bandleaders Brian Blade, Kendrick Scott, Petros Klampanis and
Aaron Parks. Jamie composes music with the intention of honest storytelling and narrative;
creating compositions that are as complex as they are harmonically-rich, while still remaining
musically accessible to all ears.
“Guitarist Jamie Pye is establishing himself as a new and dynamic artist coming out of the New Zealand
contemporary jazz scene. Displaying a strong compositional voice, he's delivered an exciting debut album
and I'm looking forward to seeing his artistry progress into the future”.
