Phil Robson plays guitar and writes mostly original compositions for this organ trio, with Ross Stanley on Hammond organ and Gene Calderazzo on drums. The music blends swing, groove and burning improvisation with strong melodies, sitting in the organ trio tradition while feeling contemporary. Robson was named Musician of the Year at the 2009 Parliamentary Jazz Awards and spent five years in New York City before settling in Ireland, and he co-led the cult band Partisans for 23 years, a major influence on European nu-jazz.
