Acclaimed as composers as weil as instrumentalists, sharing multiple awards, an lvor Novello nomination and seven albums as leaders between them, Alex Hitchcock and Ant Law have created a startlingly vivid and mature soundworld, brought to life by a carefully-curated selection of the world’s most distinctive and virtuosic improvisors. Same Moon in the Same World is their ambitious new collaboration. Recorded in 2020 and 2021 across multiple continents – bridging the gap between London and Tel-Aviv, and Amsterdam and New York – the album brings together a stellar cast of guest musicians performing new compositions: vibraphonist Joel Ross, bassists Linda May Han Oh, Ben Williams and Jasper Høiby, and drummers Jeff Ballard, Kendrick Scott, Sun-Mi Hong and Eric Harland.

The album takes its name from a line in Haruki Murakami’s 1999 novel Sputnik Sweetheart: „We’re both looking at the same moon, in the same world. We’re connected to reality by the same line. All I have to do is quietly draw it towards me.“
