His debut album\, “Riser”\, was released on Edition Records in 2017 to widespread acclaim from the European jazz media. John Fordham wrote in The Guardian that it’s a “very sophisticated debut\, but given Luft’s old-soul achievements since his early teens\, we should have heard it coming”. \nSubsequently\, on the back of the success of his first album\, Rob was nominated for a string of awards – Breakthrough Act in the 2018 Jazz FM Awards\, Instrumentalist of the Year in the 2020 Parliamentary Jazz Awards and Instrumentalist of the Year in the 2019 Jazz FM Awards. In May 2019\, Rob was selected as a BBC New Generation Jazz Artist. His eagerly-awaited second album\, “Life is the Dancer”\, was released in April 2020 on Edition Records to critical acclaim. Rob made his debut appearance on the legendary German jazz label ECM Records with the album “Lost Ships\, a collaborative effort with Swiss-Albanian singer Elina Duni\, and this was nominated in the ‘International Album of the Year’ category in the 2021 German Jazz Prize. \nConcert highlights for Rob include performances with artists including Django Bates\, The Cinematic Orchestra\, Arve Henriksen\, & Manu Katché.
