Robin Phillips Sings

A jazz evening at Toulouse Lautrec in London, where singer and pianist Robin Phillips performs the music of trumpeter and vocalist Chet Baker. It is presented as a tribute to Baker's music.

Robin Phillips sings and plays piano in this programme of songs associated with Chet Baker, the jazz trumpeter and vocalist. Phillips is often compared vocally with Baker, but Baker does not appear on stage: the evening is a tribute that follows Baker's music and its place in jazz.

Trumpeter James Brady joins Phillips, and the group is completed by Charlie Pyne on bass, Alex Best on drums and guest Louis Thorne on guitar. The repertoire includes Almost Blue and Let's Get Lost, two of the pieces the evening draws on, and the playing is built around Brady's melodic trumpet lines alongside Phillips's voice.

Toulouse Lautrec is a London venue that hosts concerts and shows, and it has a French restaurant, so a meal can be taken before or after the performance. The evening will suit listeners who want a jazz concert with a focus on one of the genre's distinctive voices.
