About
Acclaimed as composers as well as instrumentalists, sharing multiple awards and seven albums as leaders between them, Hitchcock and Law have created a startlingly vivid and mature soundworld, in their new album Same Moon in the Same World.
Drummer Sun-Mi Hong whose distinct style combines rooted groove with well-tempered outbursts joins the quartet alongside the virtuosic and high energy eloquence of bassist Jasper Høiby.
Ant Law & Alex Hitchcock’s new album takes its name from a line in Haruki Murakami’s 1999 novel Sputnik Sweetheart. The inspiration of the album is the idea that, whilst people may be in separate places geographically, they have shared truths: musical language, human experience, emotions. From our unique vantage points, we are all staring at the same moon.
