The debut album from Glasshopper, available to download, stream and on CD.
"The sax-guitar-drums trio of Jonathan Chung, James Kitchman and Corrie ter Dick in the Royal Festival Hall Foyer brought a clear and crystalline, expansive sound with subtle shadings, riding the tides between jazz and post-rock... We’re looking forward to their debut album, recorded and previewed earlier this year, featuring sublime guest-vocalist Sylvia Schmidt-Silas , and characterised by angular interplay, dark delay-drenched atmospheres and arresting moments of exquisite beauty."

Really happy to share with you that our first single Birdwing is available to for you to listen to.
You can download from our bandcamp page, which is the best place to support us.
Or you can stream from the usual places link here.
A bit about the song:
The purpose of the tune comes from a want to unleash unfiltered energy during our live sets. With no restraints to form or melody I enjoy setting up this premise of a casual/freewheeling rock attitude, to then blow into a barrage of sounds.
It draws influences from some musicial heros of mine; Jimi Hendrix and Acoustic ladyland to name a couple.
And also serves as a cryptic ode and takes deeper meaning from the poem it shares its title with, "Birdwings" by the Persian poet Rumi.
We are really grateful to be doing a live stream gig this November. Details on the EFG London jazz festival page.
