Robson/Levy Quartet
Last Show: Tuesday 20 th September 2022
PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)
The Robson/Levy Quartet returns to the PizzaExpress Jazz Club following their riveting London Jazz Festival performance four years ago. The band was formed in New York City in 2018 to perform the original compositions of the co-leaders in equal measure. Whilst Jed Levy is a celebrated mainstay of the NY scene, UK born Phil Robson lived in the city for 5 five years from 2015, having previously been a major force in London for many years and has now made his home in Co. Roscommon, Ireland. Having met and begun to play together in 2017, they quickly formed a great musical friendship. Both bring a wealth of experience and diversity to the bandstand, both as composers and musicians. The music written by Phil & Jed is innovative and contemporary, whilst drawing on the vast tradition of jazz, across a whole spectrum of styles. The emphasis is on strong melodies and grooves and the tunes are vehicles for improvisation, allowing each musician to bring their voice and to make them their own, a genuine musical melting pot!”
