With what is already a well lived musical career, Neil has worked with many of the brightest in the industry. In 2007 his trio - the Neil Angilley Trio recorded their 1st album, ‘Havana Club’:
“Neil Angilley has long been one the UK’s best-kept secrets in the Jazz world. The Neil Angilley Trio debut album – Havana Club is nothing short of spectacular, reminiscent, at times of the great works of Michel Camillo and Chick Corea, this brazillian-fusion trio album is world class and is a very fulfilling listen. I won’t highlight any particular title on the album as they’re all great, so, as I say: just take a moment to check it out. “ Blues & Soul Magazine
Their most recent Trio recording is ‘Chango’ and is a tribute to the people of Yoruba. It is the music, spirit, culture and their God, Chango, that was the inspiration for making this album. Neil is joined by Davide Giovannini (Paul McCarty, Steve Winwood) on Drums/Vocal and Davide Mantovani (Babba Maal, Jim Mullen, Andy Sheppard) on Bass. Special guest Snowboy joins the trio on Congas/Percussion. Chango - the latest album by the Neil Angilley Trio was voted as one of the top Latin albums of 2013 by French Magazine Mundo Latino
“Chango’ will smite you… If you pass by London, take a chance to listen to pianist Neil Angilley, the golden-voiced drummer Davide Giovannini or the bassist Davide Mantovani.’ - French Magazine ‘Mundo Latino’s’ Best Latin Albums of 2013
The trio have worked regularly in the London Jazz scene and across the U.K. In 2010 the trio were invited to perform at ’ The International Jazz Festival ’ in Trieste, Italy. They have also recently performed in France.
