Welcome to In the Groove, a brand-new YouTube series from Jazz Ireland, where we bring you closer to the artists shaping the vibrant Irish jazz scene.
Just before Christmas, we had the pleasure of speaking with acclaimed guitarist and composer Phil Robson on behalf of Jazz Ireland. The interview took place in his home in Roscommon, and we’re grateful to both Phil and Christine Tobin (referred to in the interview as Christine) for their hospitality and for allowing us to film in such a beautiful setting.
Phil spoke about his upcoming gig in Arthur’s Blues and Jazz Club, his influences, past projects, the Irish jazz scene, and future plans.
He spoke highly of many musicians throughout our conversation, though some names had to be omitted during editing for cohesivity. We would like to acknowledge them here: Vic Juris, Wayne Krantz, Peter Bernstein, Peter Leitch (New Life Orchestra), Paul Dunlea, Neil Ó Loclainn, Dan Bodwell, Darragh Hennessy, Kevin Brady, Jennifer McMahon (Irish Women in Jazz), Aleka Potinga (Dublin Jazz Co-op), Chris Guilfoyle, Michael and Conor Murray.
Make sure to catch Phil Robson’s upcoming gig with his trio (Dave Redmond, Double Bass; Dominic Mullan, Drums) on January 26th 2025 in Arthur’s Blues and Jazz Club.
