About:
Guitarist Hannes Riepler leads a quartet of distinctive voices from the contemporary London jazz scene, bringing together original music that is lyrical, searching, and rhythmically alive. The band moves fluidly between composed material and open improvisation, balancing melodic clarity with moments of raw intensity and play.

Riepler’s guitar playing sits at the centre of the music — spacious, expressive, and deeply attentive to sound and silence. As one listener put it, “Hannes Riepler plays with a rare sense of patience and purpose — every note feels chosen, and every phrase tells a story.”

He is joined by George Crowley on saxophone, whose incisive lines and rich tone add urgency and colour; Niklas Lukassen on bass, providing both grounding and momentum; and Finn Genockey on drums, driving the music with sensitivity, lift, and fire.

Expect a set that is thoughtful yet adventurous — modern jazz with warmth, edge, and a strong sense of collective spirit.
