We are thrilled to welcome two of the most exciting jazz guitarists to have emerged from the UK in recent years - Chris Montague and Ant Law. These two stellar players have long had huge respect for each other’s work, and they have now composed a set of material to perform together with the incredible rhythm section of Herbie Rees on bass and Jamie Murray on drums.
Chris is widely recognised for his skills as a guitarist, composer, and producer. As a founding member of Troyka, he has gained a reputation for his distinctive approach to the guitar.
He has received much admiration for his contributions to numerous contemporary recordings, including his own Warmer than Blood with Kit Downes on piano and Ruth Goller on bass. He has worked with artists including Squarepusher, Benny Greb’s Moving Parts, Janek Gwizdala, Sarah Gillespie, and Monocled Man.
British guitarist Ant lives in London and has been hailed as a game-changer and an innovator by The Guardian. His sixth album, Ensconced, is a collaboration with singer Brigitte Beraha, which was released last year.
His previous album, Same Moon in the Same World, is an ongoing collaboration with the brilliant saxophonist and composer Alex Hitchcock. Recorded in 2020/2021 across multiple continents, it brings together a stellar cast of guest musicians performing new compositions. The Same Moon quartet toured Europe in December 2022 and has since recorded a brand new album.
“Its nimble music, the composing is original and as modern as the minute, and the virtuosity and power of the jamming makes your hair stand on end”
