Phill Collins – Composer and Jazz Pianist

Welcome.

I write and play music that moves between original compositions, fresh interpretations of jazz standards, and groove-driven pieces. My focus is always authenticity — expressing my musical voice with clarity and honesty.

DUO PROJECT - Piano and Saxophone

With Karl Rooney

This duo focuses on original material and reworked standards, played in a quieter, more stripped-back setting. It’s a chance to explore the same pieces from the quartet book with more space, detail and interaction.

SOLO PIANO

My solo piano work explores a quieter, more flexible side of my music, where form and direction can shift freely in the moment.

Working alone allows for rapid movement between groove-based playing and more reflective or rhapsodic passages, responding intuitively as the music unfolds.

The piece featured here was recorded in studio as a personal Christmas gift to myself and my family, and reflects the musical direction of this strand of work.

SATURDAY NIGHT DUO

Live at Fota Island Resort
Every Saturday, 9-11.
