“It has a very infectious feel-good quality about it” Jazz FM
“Energetic music..an enjoyable, easy swinging debut.” Jazzwise
“An enormously enjoyable set of accessible but distinctive originals. Like the compositions, Clouts’ solos are thoughtful and persuasively structured” Jazz UK
“Although clearly steeped in the music of his native South Africa, Clouts touches numerous other bases, and his deft, lively, intensely rhythmic piano is skilfully complemented throughout by a vigorous but sensitive rhythm section.” Jazz Review
“The trio…cook up some nice, tricky rhythms to keep you alert, and control an impressive range of dynamics. Clouts has particularly subtle judgement when it comes to harmonising simple melodies, making them neither too bare nor over-elaborate” The Observer
“Philip Clouts is an accomplished leader.” The Independent
