Making a welcome return to Davenham, South African born Philip Clouts brings his quartet playing original compositions from his latest CD ` Umoya`. On this album, Clouts’ African inspirations extend beyond Cape jazz to pan-European folksong, soul-jazz and even drum ‘n’ bass.

Clouts was born in Cape Town and the music of his homeland has stayed with him as he has continued on a voyage of discovery that has led him across all five continents, soaking up Caribbean calypso and the soulful strains of the Indian subcontinent while honouring and learning from jazz heroes including Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, and Charles Lloyd.
Since moving to Dorset in 2006 he has responded to his new surroundings with impressionistic compositions that complement and chime with his world music interests, resonating with folky themes and packing pungent rhythmical punch.

Gilby and her colleagues hail from Tyneside and have a relentless gigging schedule, ranging from village halls to major festivals, and a series of high quality albums has ensured that Gilby is now a singer with a national reputation. She has appeared regularly at the EFG London Jazz Festival and in 2019 her talents were recognised when she won the Parliamentary Jazz Award for Best Vocalist, receiving her prize at an awards ceremony in London.

Zoe Gilby - Twelve Stories. A mix of intelligent original songs and innovative arrangements of tunes by both jazz and pop composers. It's the quality of the original songs that make this jazz vocal album stand out from the pack..
