London Jazz Award Nomination Phil Robson: '.. harnesses the textural possibilities of an unconventional combination of frontline instruments and subtly marries straight-ahead postbop with earthy, odd time signature grooves is reminiscent of the writing of Dave Holland.'

LondonJazz: 'Robson’s compositions are, however, much more than just blowing vehicles and there is plenty to admire in these succinct, punchy themes. The way Robson harnesses the textural possibilities of an unconventional combination of front-line instruments and subtly marries straight-ahead post-bop with earthy, odd time signature grooves is reminiscent of the writing of Dave Holland (and the playing here is certainly worthy of one of Holland’s ensembles).'

Guardian: 'Smoky jazz waltzes become delicious contrapuntal improvisations for Turner and Lockrane, and the title track is like flute Morse-code over hard-hit percussion. Sparingly applied abstract guitar effects are met by Led Bib-like crunching.'

Phil released an album last year, much praised in the UK jazz press scene, titled 'The Immeasurable Code'. He was also recently nominated by the Parliamentary Jazz Awards as the Musician of the Year and is one of this country's most prolific composers and band-leaders. Last year he embarked on a major tour around the UK to rave reviews in the press and played with international jazz musician Mark Turner. Phil also headlined at the London Jazz Festival at the prestigious Purcell Room to high acclaim and was one of the highlights of the festival.
