(CD)

London based trio Glasshopper emerge with their anticipated debut Fortune Rules. Led by Scottish saxophonist/composer Jonathan Chung, this unit of focused players explore melody and improvisation with complete reverence and abandon. Always aspiring to search for fresh interpretations, this bass-less line up blur the lines between the jazz, folk and rock realms. Seldom settling, always searching.

Fortune Rules is an abstract tale of Jonathan’s experiences, thoughts and a suggestion of things to come for the band. It seeks to capture and reveal these three musical voices that inspire Jonathan's writing, and form the sound of Glasshopper.

Jonathan Chung [tenor saxophone, effects], James Kitchman [guitar, effects], Corrie Dick [drums], Sylvia Schmidt [vocals on 3 & 7], Mike Soper [trumpet on 4], Ed Begley [vocals on 6]
