Jed Levy – Tenor Saxophone | Phil Robson – Guitar | Mark Hodgson – Double Bass | Roberto Gatto – Drums
Part of a tour of Italy & the UK! This musical partnership was formed in New York City in 2017 between the highly acclaimed US saxophonist Jed Levy (Jaki Byard, Jack McDuff, Mike Clark, Tom Harrell etc) www.jedlevy.com and multi-award-winning UK born guitarist Phil Robson (Mark Turner, David Liebman, Billy Hart, Partisans, etc) www.philrobsonmusic.com who was living in NYC at the time. The American quartet they put together featuring Peter Slavov and Clarence Penn quickly began to become a regular feature in the city’s iconic venues such as Smalls, Birdland, 55 Bar etc, as well as touring in the UK, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Northern California and more. Robson relocated to Ireland in 2020, but since that time the collaboration has continued with various European incarnations of the band.
The concerts will feature original music penned by both Levy and Robson. Their music is innovative and contemporary while melodic and groovy, with a strong sense of tradition mixed in with the diverse characteristics of each composer.
“This was high-powered jazz, not by dint of frenetic pace, volume or assertiveness but by the beauty and coherence of the quartet sound that was at once polished but fresh and lively. That’s a difficult poise to strike, even for musicians as able as these, yet for all that they were fully engaged, each seemed entirely in his element.”— The Whitman Review
“Added to the warmth of his sound and excellent command of the instrument, Levy is an impressive package deserving wider international recognition. Phil Robson is already gaining wider international recognition, as witnessed by the admiring comments on his playing from Peter Bernstein and Wayne Krantz to be found on his website. His great fluidity and fleet inventiveness were, as ever, balm for the ears. ” London Jazz News
