Inspired by tours of the Highlands of Scotland 'Heading North' re-affirms Rob's position as one of the major new composer/musicians in Jazz today. Still retaining the characteristic acoustic-based sound of 'Open Up', his debut CD, this album features stunning playing, strong lyrical writing, evocative and imaginative music.
