Jazz på Kampen: Same Moon In The Same World

Jazz på Kampen: Same Moon In The Same World

British guitarist Ant Law is “a game changer” - The Guardian. 

In addition to his own projects, Ant plays in Tim Garland's band with Jason Rebello & Asaf Sirkis, featuring on 'Songs To The North Sky', 'Return To The

Fire' & 'ONE' which was shortlisted for a Grammy and won the Jazzwise

Best Album award. Ant is the “L” in Trio HLK who record/tour with Dame

Evelyn Glennie. He has also worked with Cory Henry, Thomas Gould

and is often featured in guitar magazines. He was recently included in a

list of “10 Astounding Virtuosos”, and another issue features a 2-page

spread and a 9/10 review of his last album.

London-born saxophonist Alex Hitchcock is one of the UK’s most

virtuosic young musicians. His 2020 release 'AuB' (Edition) was

described as ‘ready to make cataclysmic waves’ Jazzwise.

His debut (Fresh Sound - home to debuts by Ambrose Akinmusire/

Avishai Cohen) was described by All About Jazz as having 'stratospheric

trajectory’. His burgeoning international reputation was confirmed by

a major prize at Umbria Jazz Festival and tours in Poland, Spain, Italy,

Hungary, performances at Love Supreme Festival, Royal Albert Hall and

Ronnie Scott’s.

Acclaimed as composers as well as instrumentalists, sharing multiple

awards, an Ivor Novello nomination and seven albums as leaders

between them, Hitchcock and Law have created a startlingly vivid and

mature soundworld, brought to life by a carefully-curated selection of the

world’s most distinctive and virtuosic improvisors. This is a transatlantic

collaboration featuring Korean drummer Sun-MI Hong and Danish bass

hero Jasper Høiby.

This band takes its name from a line in Japanese author Haruki

Murakami’s 1999 novel Sputnik Sweetheart: “we’re both looking at the

same moon in the same world. We’re connected to reality by the same

line.”
