Product Information

Philip Catherine: a sound, Philip Catherine: a man with a stunning originality, a guitarist embracing tradition, but so much finding his own road coming from that tradition. Philip the composer, Philip the virtuoso, Philip the artist searching for more, for something fresh, a new angle.

Since the seventies Philip has been carving out his own musical path. Playing groundbreaking original music with groups like Pork Pie and with duos with Larry Coryell; but also creating profound connections with the jazz tradition with his much acclaimed work with Chet Baker, and duos with Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen.

I have had the great fortune to work extensively with Philip since 1985, on tour and in the recording studio, recording some 8 CDs with him. It was during those years I started deeply appreciating the searching nature of this man. We have remained Friends ever since, and what a pleasure it is to now, even though I live 10, 000 kilometers away, in the Cape of Good Hope, to still be part of Philip’s musical world and to be able to work together on recording projects.

The origin of the CD you hold in your hand goes back into Philip’s musical past. Somehow Philip’s strongest expression might be in his original compositions where he tries to paint musical pictures that each have a strong musical identity. His way of shaping the music in this way can be clearly traced back to his wonderful recording “Transparence” (1986), and one can also observe examples on different albums afterwards. When Philip and I were discussing possibilities for a new recording he sent me a live recording of a concert he played in Theatre 140 in Brussels quite some years ago. Here again the attractive combination of the Philip’s lyrical guitar playing, embedded in layers laid down by piano and keyboards and surrounded by Lively drums and bass was very evident. We decided to go this route and gathered repertoire and ideas.

Since a short while Philip created a new band with two young and upcoming musicians on the Belgian scene: Nicola Andrioli (1977), an Italian pianist living in Brussels, is more than a gifted and excellent instrumentalist: he is a strong composer and his sense of always knowing to play what is right for the situation is breathtaking. Drummer Antoine Pierre (1992!) somehow embraces it all: proficient in the modern idiom, yet with the ability to create a loose, deep and flexible swing when needed - a trait that is so very rare with drummers nowadays.
