Phil Robson Trio
UK-born, award-winning guitarist Phil Robson’s fluent and creative playing was first recognised as something special in the 90’s. His band ‘Partisans’, co-led with saxophonist Julian Siegel become a seminal influence on the UK and European contemporary scene for over 20 years, and he’s also known for his work with acclaimed singer/songwriter Christine Tobin. In addition, Phil has led bands featuring jazz legends such as David Liebman, Mark Turner, Billy Hart, James Genus & Marc Copland, as well as working as a freelance musician with a huge cross spectrum of internationally renowned artists including Kenny Wheeler, Barbra Streisand, Steve Lacy, Vince Mendoza, Donny McCaslin, Django Bates, Phil Woods, Steve Wilson, Maceo Parker & others too numerous to list.
Based in New York from 2015 -2020, Phil now resides in Ireland, making his appearances in London all the more of a special occasion! Tonight, joined by Mark Hodgson-bass & Will Glaser-drums Phil will lead this hard swinging trio through a cocktail of Robson originals, classic tunes by Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Dave Holland etc, and choice standards.
