PHILIP CATHERINE TRIO

Philip Catherine, since over forty years one of the most prominent jazz musicians. Decades back he played with big names like Charlie Mingus, Benny Goodman, Dexter Gordon and Chet Baker. Since fifteen years he leads his own trio. ‘The Belgian guitarist Catherine takes John Scofield’s mix of John Coltrane and Jimi Hendrix a step further by adding Django Reinhardt’s gypsy soul into the mix. That’s a lot of famous and talented guitar pickers in a row; Catherine belongs right up there with them.’ (International Herald Tribune).
