Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series. In this episode, we connect with UK-based jazz singer, pianist, and songwriter Robin Phillips—a seasoned artist with a deep passion for storytelling through music.

We dive into his brand-new 2025 album, Return from the Source—his first collection of original material in over 20 years. The album was born from a powerful motorbike road trip across the U.S., tracing the legendary route from Chicago to New Orleans in search of the soul of jazz and blues music.

Armed with just a notepad and the open road, Robin gathered musical and emotional inspiration from iconic places like New Orleans, Clarksdale, Mississippi, and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama. The result? A richly textured album that not only captures the spirit of these musical landmarks but also reflects on deeper themes—his connection to England, personal growth, and the state of the world.

Join us for a meaningful conversation about music, travel, creativity, and cultural connection.
