JFU presents: Hill Collective

Hill Collective will be bringing the thunder back to The Rose Hill on 2 November, after their sell-out concert here in April. Two magical one-hour sets, featuring their tunes from their dazzling 2024 debut album Tonal Prophecy as well as brand new compositions, and the promise of "a fully improvised situation using a very special secret technique revealed on the night!"

Hill Collective is a jazz ensemble based in Brighton, UK. Led by saxophonist and composer Pete Piskov, the group offers a fresh musical attitude, employing modern improvisation techniques and nuanced compositions – a soulful, avant-garde addition to the bustling UK jazz landscape.

“Enthusiastically embracing the full gamut of freewheeling experimentation … from wonky bossas to deranged swinging Mingus-ism, this new release from Hill Collective is a compelling refutation to anyone who still thinks that jazz is no fun” – Eddie Myer (New Generation Jazz / QOW Trio)

“Hill Collective seem at ease creating some of the boldest, bombastic and liberating music I have heard from any other release … Fearless, passionate and deeply joyous” – Ozzy Moysey (Ancient Infinity Orchestra)
