About
Pianist-composer Philip Clouts’s South African roots have inspired a voyage of musical discovery that has led to a style incorporating wide-ranging inspirations from world music and jazz into a joyous sound.
The exuberant sway of Cuban dance music, the soulful strains of Morocco’s gnawa tradition, the melodic heart of pan-European folksong and the influence of jazz heroes including Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, and Charles Lloyd all meet in Clouts’ very persuasive music.
