Phil Bancroft's The Beautiful Storm @myriad_streams
A major figure on the Scottish music scene for over 30 years, Phil Bancroft emerged in the late 1980’s as saxophonist and main composer for the John Rae Collective before forging a reputation in influential Scottish bands including Celtic Feet, the award-winning Trio AAB, Colin Steele’s Stramash, and the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra. He has since performed with musicians from across the pop, jazz, classical and Celtic music scenes and  currently works with the Grit Orchestra and keyboardist Paul Harrison’s Sugarwork as well as leading his own groups. He has performed with jazz luminaries Sun Ra, Kenny Wheeler, Oliver Lake, Ernst Reisinger and Joe Lovano and he has composed music and developed multi-media for his own small and large ensemble projects, including the multi-media show Small as The World. He has also worked with musicians from the Indian, African and Scottish traditions and has taught saxophone and improvisation at undergraduate and postgraduate levels at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and at Napier and Newcastle Universities. Bancroft formed The Beautiful Storm with fellow Scot, Aberdeen-born guitarist Graeme Stephen and Delhi-based percussionist Gyan Singh in 2022. The trio's first album, Finding Hope (When All Seems Lost), was released in December 2024.
