'Phil Robson’s inventiveness on the guitar is unstoppable….' The Telegraph newspaper.
'Robson performs impeccably throughout, whether he’s contributing chordal washes in support, or taking the spotlight for some intricate, fluid solos of his own.' AllAboutJazz.
'Jed's playing, though, is again tremendous. He powers through themes and solos in a way which ought to seem bland, in terms of the steely confidence of the execution, yet its nothing but full-throated enjoyment. The sort of record which empowers the jazz-repertory tradition without troubling to make any statements at all.' From Penguin Guide to Jazz, a review of Levy's album, 'Round and Round' .

From Quincy Jones’s classic “In the Heat of the Night” and Terence Blanchard’s prolific work with Spike Lee, to countless on-screen appearances by the greats from Elvin Jones to the Count Basie Big Band, jazz has played an outsized role in film since the birth of the “talkies.”
Through live performances, mixed media clips, recordings and stories, we feast on the myriad ways jazz artists have contributed to generations of groundbreaking cinema.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK. SMALLS, GREENWICH VILLAGE, NYC. Times TBC.
Night one of a two night residency.
The Levy/Robson Quartet.
Jed Levy - sax
Phil Robson - guitar
Peter Slavov - bass
Clarence Penn - drums
Saxophonist Jed Levy and guitarist Phil Robson bring their co-led quartet back to this legendary club following two sold old nights in August 2019. Featuring drummer Clarence Penn and bassist Peter Slavov.
This ensemble was first assembled for a successful tour of Europe in November 2018, culminating in a stellar performance that received critical acclaim at the London Jazz Festival. Following their East Coast spring and summer concerts, including a riveting performance to a full house at the Birdland Theater, NY, the quartet makes their first outing to the West Coast. The original music written by Levy & Robson is innovative and contemporary whilst drawing on the vast tradition of jazz, across the whole spectrum of styles. The emphasis is on strong melodies and grooves and the tunes are vehicles for improvisation, allowing each musician to bring their experience and to make them their own. This will be the very best musical melting pot.
'This was high-powered jazz, not by dint of frenetic pace, volume or assertiveness but by the beauty and coherence of the quartet sound that was at once polished but fresh and lively. That’s a difficult poise to strike, even for musicians as able as these, yet for all that they were fully engaged, each seemed entirely in his element.'
– Whitman Reviews @ Wakefield Jazz
'Added to the warmth of his sound and excellent command of the instrument, Levy is an impressive package deserving wider international recognition. Phil Robson is already gaining wider international recognition, as witnessed by the admiring comments on his playing from Peter Bernstein and Wayne Krantz to be found on his website. His great fluidity and fleet inventiveness were, as ever, balm for the ears.'
