Phil has received two Parliamentary Jazz Awards, a London Music Award and the Peter Whittingham Jazz Award for his music. He’s the founder and artistic director of the Engines Orchestra, has conducted the Grammy-award-winning Metropole Orkest, been commissioned by the Royal Northern Sinfonia and recorded and performed across Europe with his own music, as well as in collaboration with Matthew Herbert, Phronesis, Ingrid Jensen and Femi Temowo.
Every Friday and Saturday night from 11.15pm, Ronnie Scott’s presents the Late Late Show, where some of the UK’s finest jazz talent takes to the stage for a late-night blowing session. The music includes a range of music influenced by jazz-funk, soul, R&B and hip hop. A DJ will play sets before and after the live sets.
Most tickets for the Late Late Show will be available at the door if advance tickets have sold out.
