Top Scottish Jazz musician, Phil Bancroft, is making a short Scottish tour in preparation for recording a debut album with his new Scottish-based Quartet.

Giant of the tenor saxophone, Phil Bancroft's new music is more direct and more melodic, with all the old charms to
the fore- a rich, lyrical and sensuous sound, and beautiful tunes, played with intelligence, craft and genuine love for the music. Few saxophonists anywhere in the world can match Bancroft's powers of persuasion and guile.

This new quartet has been working together for 10 months, and featured in the 2007 Edinburgh International Jazz Festival. Phil Bancroft Quartet: Phil Bancroft Soprano & Tenor Saxophones, Paul Harrison Piano/Keyboards, Aidan O’Donnell Acoustic Bass and Stu Ritchie Drums.
