He graduated from Birmingham


Conservatoire in 2016, with a First Class Honours Degree in Jazz Piano, and has since been
offered a part scholarship to study a Master of Music Degree at The Royal Academy, London.
Naylor released his debut album ‘Rough Boundaries’ featuring Birmingham Jazz Orchestra in
2016, for which he won the coveted Dankworth Prize and much critical acclaim. His current
projects include his trio ‘Meraki’ a vehicle to showcase his own original music, and ‘Reimagining
Chet’, a duo project with horn player, and long standing friend Tom Syson.

“He (Naylor) has the potential to establish himself as a leading player of his generation
internationally” - Hans Koller.

“One hears shades and echoes of Kenny Wheeler, Gil Evans and Maria Schnieder as well as the
improvisatory flexibility of Graham Collier and Django Bates” - LondonJazzNews
