The Richard Pite Quartet features the young harmonica virtuoso Philip Achille.  Richard writes -  “When Philip played his stunning version of Bach’s Air On A G String at a jazz club recently he raised the roof.  In all the years of playing jazz venues I have never witnessed a reception as enthusiastic as this”.  

Philip was discovered by Richard when the former was busking on the underground – “he was playing classical music superbly – I was amazed when he then began to play be-bop equally brilliantly in the style of harmonica legend Toots Thielemans .  He is one of the most incredible musicians I’ve ever worked with”.
