Francesco Bigoni – Tenor Sax
Ivo Neame – Piano
Andrea Di Biase – Bass
Dave Hamblett – Drums
Escape Hatch is a new collaboration between MOBO-award winning pianist Ivo Neame, Italian bassist and composer Andrea di Biase, and drummer of the moment Dave Hamblett.
The name of the group is a tribute to the power that music has to transport listeners and performers alike to the antipodes of the mind.
They will perform music from their latest album “Roots of Unity” released by Whirlwind Recordings in 2016.
The musical material is a mixture of Di Biase and Neame’s compositions, and the trio explores a large variety of musical landscapes with characteristic verve and integrity.
They will be joined from Copenhagen by Francesco Bigoni, one of the most innovative saxophonists on the European Jazz scene.
“The nine pieces, six by Di Biase and three by Neame, may be adventurous and sometimes complex but they also contain much warmth, humanity, and indeed melody and lyricism.” (Jazzmann.com)
