Cape Town born pianist and composer Philip Clouts' South African roots have inspired a voyage of discovery that has led to him soaking up the joyful passion of Caribbean calypso, the bluesy melodies of middle eastern praise songs, the exuberant sway of Cuban dance music and the tuneful essence of Gospel while honouring jazz heroes including Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett.
As a key member of the popular London-based world jazz ensemble Zubop and its offshoot ZubopGambia, with BBC World Music award-winner Juldeh Camara, Clouts created a solid body of work with African roots, and since moving to Dorset he has responded to his new surroundings with impressionistic compositions that complement his world music interests, resonating with strong themes and packing a mighty rhythmical punch.
The Philip Clouts Quartet has been a major focus of his composing and playing, and the latest album ‘Umoya,' is titled from the Zulu word for ‘life force'. Philip's career has included playing at Ronnie Scott's, Birmingham Symphony Hall, Glastonbury Festival and the London Jazz Festival. His music has been played on BBC's Jamie Cullum Show, and Jazz FM has praised it, saying “it has a very infectious feel-good quality.”
Joined by bassist Tim Fairhall and drummer Marek Dorcik, he brings his musical journey alive with superb musicianship and infectious vigour.
