Phil Bancroft Trio - Swings and Roundabouts

Phil Bancroft has long been recognised by those 'in the know' as one of Europe's most passionate and lyrical saxophonists. SWINGS AND ROUNDABOUTS is a powerful and atmospheric CD which shows Phil in the world class company of top New York drummer Marcello Pellitteri (described by Gary Burton as one of the most talented new players to come along in a long time) and London bass star Steve Watts. This CD will go some way to gaining him the recognition he so deserves. Featuring a mixture of Phil's compositions and standards, it's contemporary acoustic jazz at it's best with hints of Lovano, Garbarek, and Murray but a with a poignant warmth all it's own.
