‘The London Jazz Duo’ are comprised of Robin Porter (saxophone) & Jack Gillen (guitar), two highly experienced and award-winning musicians. They have performed at some of the UK’s top jazz venues including Ronnie Scott’s, the 606 Jazz Club, Pizza Express Soho and The Vortex, as well as at countless weddings and private events.
The duo’s repertoire includes a myriad of jazz standards from the Great American Songbook, as well as bossa nova’s, funk/groove-based tunes, and some more contemporary pop songs. They can tailor their set to suit your event and can learn song requests before an event.
Robin and Jack met whilst studying at Leeds Conservatoire in 2010, and both graduated from the BA Jazz Programme with First Class Honours. Robin went onto study on the prestigious postgraduate Jazz programme at the Royal Academy of Music where he graduated with distinction, whilst Jack has fast been earning a reputation as one of London’s most versatile guitarists. As well as having numerous creative musical pursuits of their own, they also play together in ‘Aspyrian’, an award-winning jazz trio performing original compositions. Their debut album – ‘to explore (vol. 1)’ – was released in 2023, and coincided with a UK tour that included performances at Pizza Express Jazz Club (The Pheasantry) and The Jazz Centre UK.
