Doors 7:45 PM, Music 8:30 PM - 2 sets of music Line-up: Phil Robson - Guitar Ross Stanley - Organ Gene Calderazzo - Drum kit About: Phil Robson, an incredibly versatile and creative guitar player as well as composer, named Musician of the Year at 2009 Parliamentary Jazz Awards, plus winning Album of the Year in 2015, joined forces with the Hammond virtuoso Ross Stanley and the inspiring and powerful drummer Gene Calderazzo to form this all-star band in 2015 and they come together to tour regularly because they love playing together. Robson was a seminal part of the London scene for over 2 decades before moving to New York City for 5 years. He is now based in Ireland. The trio play mostly Robson originals which are steeped in the swing, groove and the organ trio tradition, while also being contemporary with strong melodies making their music exciting but accessible to all who love to see passionate live music and real bands. The exceptional musicianship of all members is unquestionable. Together, as a band they create a very refreshing and compelling mix. The music is sensational, played with great energy and the incredible rapport between the three members which is something that definitely sets this band apart. You will hear powerful melodies, grooves and burning improv all melded together by the formidable blend of guitar and Hammond, driven by Gene's dynamic drumming. “This was a blast! Three superb players bringing the organ trio into the 21st Century.” Bebop Spoken Here “Phil Robson’s inventiveness on the guitar is unstoppable...” The Telegraph “Phil Robson's music, on a first hearing, always gives me that feeling I haven't yet heard right the way through it to the other side. Yes, there are moments of beauty, external allure, yes there is variety. But there is also a depth which brings one back wanting to revisit, to hear more and more..... unmissable!” UK Jazz News “British guitar phenomenon Phil Robson hardly needs any introduction, save that his new musical departure is realised by an organ trio offering a smorgasbord of exciting and imaginative compositions.” All About Jazz As a band leader, Phil Robson has fronted many innovative projects including: The Levy/Robson Quartet co-led with NYC saxophonist Jed Levy who release their new album in May 2026 on Livia records, The Immeasurable Code Quintet featuring US saxophone star Mark Turner, Six Strings & The Beat, Phil Robson Trio with drum legend Billy Hart and James Genus on bass as well as Quartet featuring David Liebman and Jeff Williams.
