Review Text
2018 release. After studying the classical piano, the guitar and harmony, Phil Abraham was seduced by jazz and the trombone, on which he is self-taught. His stylistic evolution is parallel to the history of jazz, and even if he is a modern soloist today, he has worked with a wide variety of great musicians. Phil has taken part in more than sixty albums, eleven with his own group, with which he won many prizes. He has often been invited in big bands as a soloist. He took part in many recordings and concerts of the big band of the Belgian Radio (BRT). Phil Abraham also devotes his career to teaching, training courses and master-classes. He was a teacher of vocal improvisation in Antwerp and Brussels. For 4 Brothers +1, Phil Abraham invited four pianists to participate on this album. Each pianist plays on two tracks. Each time, one composition of Phil and the other one by the pianist. Accompanied by Luc Vanden Bosh on percussion, Phil Abraham invites Bas Bulteel (BE), Johan Clement (NL), Ivan Paduart (BE) and Christoph Mudrich (DE).
