PHILIP CLOUTS and THE SOUNDCELLAR 3 at The Mowlem
Pianist Philip Clouts makes his Mowlem debut, blending South African roots with Cuban, Caribbean, Gospel and jazz influences in an infectious, feel-good sound.
This gig will take place in The Showbar at The Mowlem Theatre,
Shore Road, Swanage, BH19 1DD.
Free admission!
Cape Town born pianist and composer Philip Clouts’ South African roots have inspired a voyage of discovery that has led to him soaking up the joyful passion of Caribbean calypso, the bluesy melodies of middle eastern praise songs, the exuberant sway of Cuban dance music and the tuneful essence of Gospel while honouring jazz heroes including Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett.
Philip’s career has included playing at Ronnie Scott’s, Birmingham Symphony Hall and the Glastonbury Festival. His music has been played on the BBC’s Jamie Cullum Show, and Jazz FM has praised it, saying “it has a very infectious feel-good quality about it.”
For this gig Philip will be joined by guitarist Rob Palmer, bassist Rodney Teague and drummer Andy Chapman.
