Rob Luft is undeniably one of the most exciting jazz guitarists in Europe of his generation. Hailing from London, this award-winning virtuoso has garnered comparisons to legends such as John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola, Paco De Lucia, and Kurt Rosenwinkel.
His highly anticipated third album, "Dahab Days," showcases Rob Luft's continuous artistic growth and musical exploration. Released on Edition Records in October 2023, the album marks another significant milestone in his career. Luft's selection as a BBC New Generation Artist and his collaborations with Elina Duni have further solidified his reputation and expanded his reach throughout Europe.
"Dahab Days" reveals Luft's willingness to push boundaries and expand his sonic palette. The inclusion of a string quartet adds richness to his already captivating sound, while his talented band members play an integral role in creating a mesmerizing musical experience.
