Rob Luft is an award-winning guitarist whose virtuosity has been compared to that of six-string legends John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola and Paco De Lucia. He was the recipient of the 2016 Kenny Wheeler Prize and also received the 2nd prize in the 2016 Montreux Jazz Guitar Competition at Montreux Jazz Festival.

Rob has released three albums as bandleader to critical acclaim, as well as being a regular member of some of Britain’s finest modern jazz groups, such as The John Surman Quartet, Byron Wallen’s Four Corners and the Iain Ballamy Quintet. Additionally, his playing has been documented on a wide variety of albums over the past five years on famed jazz labels such as ECM, Edition Records and Linn Records.
