Jonny Phillips’ Telouet @ Jazzlive at The Crypt
Guitarist and composer Jonny Phillips’ sextet combines Brazilian rhythms, modal jazz, art rock and an African blues aesthetic. Quirky contemporary drum and percussion grooves contrast with spacious ambient textures, open improvisations and a distinctive sense of melody. Featuring Jonny Phillips – electric guitar, Ruth Goller – bass, Idris Rahman – saxophone, Adriano Adewale – percussion, Dan Hewson – keys/trombone and Jon Scott – drums. “Bandleader and prolific guitarist-composer Jonny Phillips seems to have tunes coming out of his ears.” — The Guardian “Ravishingly beautiful” — Record Collector
