Robin Phillips Sings & Plays: Tony Bennett

Celebrating the 100th birthday of a musical legend.Robin Phillips returns to Toulouse Lautrec for a special celebration of Tony Bennett, marking what would have been the legendary singer’s 100th birthday.From his early years as a popular swing singer to the intimate jazz performances that defined his later career, Bennett became one of the finest interpreters of the Great American Songbook.

His extraordinary vocal control and heartfelt delivery were particularly evident on his celebrated recordings with jazz pianist Bill Evans.Expect timeless favourites alongside lesser-known gems chosen from Bennett’s remarkable repertoire.

Sharing Bennett’s love of rarely performed opening verses, Robin will also reveal forgotten introductions to familiar standards, bringing fresh meaning to songs audiences know and love.With support by Adam Roberts TrioSeamlessly blending the sophisticated harmonies of contemporary jazz with the infectious grooves of funk, the Adam Roberts trio perform an intimate set of music from Adam’s debut album ‘Low Voltage’.The set features entirely original compositions, from delicate ballads to high energy jazz-funk, with plenty of room for Adam’s melodic voice on the bass.

The trio thrives on improvisation, with no two performances the same and takes the audience on the journey with them.Presented by Toulouse Lautrec Jazz Club.This is an 12+ event
