With Ross Stanley (organ) & Gene Calderazzo (drums)
Phil Robson, an award-winning, versatile and creative guitar player as well as celebrated composer, joins forces with the Hammond virtuoso Ross Stanley and the inspiring and powerful drummer Gene Calderazzo in this all-star band.
The music is played with great energy and the incredible rapport between the three members is something that definitely sets this band apart.
Influenced by such legends as Pat Martino, Wes Montgomery and John McLaughlin, but also with a heavier rock-grooving predilection and energy, this tight team add to the organ trio tradition their own, refreshing touch. 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.
With this acclaimed band, he brings some new music alongside the pieces that the audience got to know and like, from the album “The Cut Off Point”.
The recording was hailed as an album steeped in the jazz language of the organ/guitar trio, a uniquely jazz format, yet one that adds a twist all of its own and given 4 Stars by Jazzwise magazine. Phil Robson’s compositional palette is revealed in all its colours and the trio’s live and fiery performances leave a lasting impression.
British guitar phenomenon Phil Robson hardly needs any introduction, save that his new musical departure is realised by an organ trio offering a smörgåsbord of exciting and imaginative compositions. All About Jazz
