Phil Robson And Mark Turner Set For Live IMS Quintet Album Release Award-winning UK guitarist Phil Robson and highly-rated US tenorist Mark Turner are set to release a live album of the IMS quintet. Released on 7 November and entitled Phil Robson – The Immeasurable Code the album will be issued on bassist Michael Janisch’s Whirlwind Records label and marks the culmination of Robson and Turner’s creative partnership that began as far back as 1998 when they both played on Christine Tobin’s album Deep Song. Featuring a set of all-new Robson compositions the melodically charged pieces take inspiration from mankind’s many and varied efforts at mass communication from drums to smoke signals, telegrams to email, the Internet and even telepathy. Also featuring in the high calibre band are much-lauded UK flautist Gareth Lockrane, drummer Ernesto Simpson, and aforementioned bassist Janisch – all of whom will be playing when the band appears at this year’s London Jazz Festival on 15 November.
