This group has been working together since 2014, completing this, its 5th tour, in March 2018. This gig marks the first visit to the UK for a series of concerts from this UK/European band. The programme features the music of the great American pianist and composer Elmo Hope (1923-1967). Much of the programme is arranged for quintet by German pianist Claus Raible, with some transcribed Hope originals included. The challenging compositions of Elmo Hope deliver a hard swinging set fronted by the band?s Austrian co-leader Herwig Gradischnig and our very own Steve Fishwick in the horn section
