When the 21-year-old Rob Luft sat in for John Parricelli for a few nights during Loose Tubes’ reunion set at Ronnie Scott’s in 2014, the spark of an idea kindled. A few years later that inner mounting flame took the form of what Eddie describes as a “posh covers band”, playing modern classics by John McLaughlin, Keith Jarrett, Kenny Wheeler and John Taylor. Alongside his internationally acclaimed jazz flute playing Eddie is a superlative pianist and keyboard player (“my Dad started me on piano when I was 4”, he says), and the band is also a vehicle for this hitherto largely unknown side. After some deliberation on what to call the band and with a brand-new original set composed by Eddie, Airborn was born.
Eddie Parker: Flutes, Keyboards, Piano Loose Tubes, Bheki Mseleku, Nduduzo Makathini, Will Gregory Moog Ensemble, Debussy Mirrored Ensemble; ‘World-class flute player, fine composer, inspiring bandleader’ - The Times; “relaxed, informal yet unpretentiously musicianly, all presented with warmth and good humour” - Chris Parker; “Eddie Parker has a deliciously rich coppery tone, tells subtle stories in his solos, and is a fine composer into the bargain – John Fordham www.eddieparker.co.uk
Rob Luft: Guitar Nominated “British Jazz Musician of the year” - Parliamentary Jazz Awards 2018; “Breakthrough Act of the year” - Jazz FM Awards 2018; "thoughtfully virtuosic head-turner" - The Guardian; "an original guitarist to be prized" - The Irish Times "; “One of the most exciting young jazz musicians to have emerged on the UK jazz scene.” BBC Radio 3 www.robluft.co.uk
Dave Manington: double bass Julian Arguelles, Marius Neset, Gwylim Simcock, Riff Raff, Tori Freestone Trio, Yazz Ahmed Quartet, founder member of Loop Collective, nominated for Ivor Novello Award 2022 www.davemanington.co.uk
