Philip Clouts – piano is joined by Sam Eagles – saxophones, Tim Fairhall – bass and Ted Carrasco – drums, offering melodic jazz with inspirations from around the world.

Spokeswoman Melissa Hauffe said: “Cape Town-born pianist/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 guaguanco rhythms and the tuneful essence of Gospel while honouring jazz heroes including Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, and Charles Lloyd.
