SoundCellar presents - Philip Clouts Quartet

The Avocet (formerly The Cow)

Having played SoundCellar in 2011, as well as being one of our successful lockdown In Our Own Space artists last year, we welcome back PHILIP CLOUTS and his Quartet, bringing us melodic jazz with inspirations from around the world. Please note the venue is upstairs at THE AVOCET (formerly The Cow - next to Parkstone Railway Station)Cape Town-born pianist/composer 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, Keith Jarrett, and Charles Lloyd.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 in 2006 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 latest CD from the Philip Clouts Quartet is one of the first wave of releases on the new jazz imprint from prestigious label Odradek Records. On this album, entitled Umoya (named from the Zulu word for life force), Clouts’ African inspirations extend beyond Cape jazz to Gnawa music and Afrobeat, and further to pan-European folksong and soul-jazz. Joined by other previous SoundCellar performers, rising star saxophonist Samuel Eagles, bassist Tim Fairhall and drummer Ted Carrasco, he brings his musical journey alive with superb musicianship and infectious vigour.“The best of British jazz” Chris Phillips Jazz FM“Precise ebullience and relaxed funkiness” The Guardian“Clouts&#x27; compositions are strong and likeable. The quartet&#x27;s playing is similarly engaging, a feeling of optimism pervading the tunes with a life force of its own” All About Jazz
