Philip Clouts Quartet
We welcome the Philip Clouts Quartet on the Scarborough leg of their tour. The exuberance of South African Township music, the groove of gospel-influenced soul jazz, the joy of Cuban rhythms and the bluesy melodies of middle eastern praise songs come together in this superbly accomplished quartet.
Born in Cape Town, Clouts grew up in the UK where the house resounded to the strains of Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba and township jazz. The music of his homeland stayed with him as he travelled across five continents, soaking up Caribbean calypso and the soulful sounds of the Indian subcontinent, while learning from jazz heroes like Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, and Charles Lloyd.
Their new CD Umoya captures the quartet’s wide-ranging music superbly. ‘Precise ebullience and relaxed funkiness’. (The Guardian).
Philip Clouts (piano), Samuel Eagles (saxophone), Tim Fairhall (bass)
and Ted Carrasco (drums).
