Interview with musicians Luis and Charly from the Standing Phase (formerly known as Woodville‪)‬ Right Brain Stories

A great chat with Standing Phase, formerly known as Woodville. I interviewed them ahead of the release of their new album and their Brighton Fringe gig 21/5/22 - "Enlightened", a night of soul music at St Matthias Church Ditchling Road Five Ways Brighton. Bio from their website: Charly started her musical career playing saxophone in a number of jazz & funk bands. Her passion for songwriting developed in this time and she also performed regularly as a solo singer/songwriter.

Having met Luis, who was fully involved in the Gypsy Jazz scene, they continued individually doing various different music projects until whilst living in New Zealand they had the opportunity to start writing songs together.

The result is a compelling combination of both their musical styles. Since being back in the UK and basing themselves in Brighton, they met up with their good friend, renowned pianist/producer Mark Edwards, who was keen to get involved producing an album for them.
