Achieving lift off guitarist Rob Luft has had a stunning year. He is a world class player. Here's why: live with Byron Wallen as part of the trumpeter's 4 Corners band he showed excellent rapport with drummer Rod Youngs particularly. On Byron's album Portrait: Reflections on Belonging (Twilight Jaguar) the best UK jazz album of 2020 we here at marlbank reckon Luft's tonal contribution was outstanding. That was early in 2020 pre-Pandemic. Later in the spring on his own record Life is the Dancer (Edition) his naturalistic, new melodic sense triumphed, the album is mostly comprised of his originals and also sports a memorable cover of 'Berlin' with its hypnotically chugging insistence interpreting the Anders (''AC'') Christensen tune so joyfully. Most recently Luft also impressed on Lost Ships recorded for ECM at la Buissonne in the south of France a month before lockdown. His sublime harmonies combined with Fred Thomas did so much to caress the Elina Duni sound. Luft stands on the shoulders of jazz guitar giants out of the UK scene, John McLaughlin > John Etheridge > Phil Robson > Dave Okumu > Chris Montague. The river runs long, the water goes deep.
