Orphy Robinson is a bonafide jazz legend whose career highlights include playing with Courtney Pine in the Jazz Warriors and releasing two critically acclaimed albums: The Vibes Describes and When Tomorrow Comes... He appears in the region this month alongside Xantoné Blacq, Andy Grappy and Maurizio Ravalico. 
“It’ll be my own material,” says Orphy, in chatting about the gig. “Xantoné and myself have been talking about it for a few years. We wanted to go a bit more ‘blues’, but like, modern-day, with a bit of funk in there, but very much feeling blues aspects. We felt that was missing in a lot of stuff.”
