Biography

Neame, a grandson of composer Shena Fraser, was born in Kent into the Shepherd Neame brewing family. He attended The King's School, Canterbury, and studied jazz saxophone at London's Royal Academy of Music in a year-group that included pianist Gwilym Simcock, and was mentored by Martin Speake and Steve Buckley, as well as F-IRE Collective founder Barak Schmool and Milton Mermikides.

Since leaving RAM in 2003 Ivo has performed with highly esteemed musicians at home and abroad such as Kenny Wheeler, Hermeto Pascoal and Gilad Hekselman. He has played on more than 40 albums as a sideman and a leader and tours regularly with his quintet, octet and now solo piano, as well as with Phronesis and Marius Neset.
