“Havana Club is nothing short of spectacular. Reminiscent, at times, of the great works of Michel Camillo and Chick Corea, this Brazilian fusion trio album is world-class.” – Blues & Soul

“Lyrical . . . impressively fluid.” – The Times

“The crowd was captivated by the Neil Angilley Trio’s authentic Brazilian rhythms on top of rich vocal harmonies, segueing into staggering solo and group passages of virtuosity. Sensational.” – Ronnie Scott’s

“Rhapsodic . . . with shrewd use of space and restraint.” – The Guardian

Keyboardist and arranger for Grammy-nominated chart-topping jazz funk band Down to the Bone, Neil Angilley is also the first-choice keyboardist in Derek Nash’s Funk Experience, Latin group Picante, and Noel McCalla’s Some Kinda Wonderful.

A stunning pianist, equally at home playing Jazz, Latin, or Classical, Neil has also worked with violin virtuoso Vanessa Mae, alto saxophonist Maceo Parker, trumpeter Roy Hargrove, Snowboy & The Latin Section, and singers Lionel Richie and Lisa Stansfield.

A great exponent of Latin/Brazilian music, Neil’s remarkable playing is enormously respected throughout the music scene, and his live shows are spellbinding, incorporating instrumental virtuosity and three-part vocal harmony which adds a unique dimension to the sound, creating an uplifting take on infectious rhythms from Brazil and Cuba to the audience.

The Neil Angilley Trio have released four critically acclaimed albums: Yambou, The Lake District, Havana Club (Evening Standard Album of the Week ★★★★★), and Chango (top Latin Album of the Year). Neil’s also appeared as a guest soloist on various albums by US3 and GRP recording artist David Benoit.
