‘Hope from the piano-guitar duo Kevin Hays and Lionel Loueke is magical. Their meditative excursions interweave sparkly, trickling interplay with bluesy spells and latin undercurrents, utilising percussive taps and low-level vocals to add to the album’s lightly carried, spiritual vein.’  London Jazz News

‘….there is an ongoing presentation of well thought out world themes, largely jazz driven, exploring profound issues. It’s a blend of beauty and substance.’ Audiophile Audition 

Celebrated musicians Kevin Hays & Lionel Loueke release their debut album Hope on 30th August 2019 and subsequent tour in Europe.

Pianist Kevin Hays & guitarist Lionel Loueke have created a masterpiece with their mesmerising and joyous debut, Hope. Originally released on vinyl-only in 2017, this release brings a new lease of life with a CD and digital release as well as three new additional tracks. An album that moves effortlessly between melodic serenity and rhythmic interplay, it is bound together by the combined creative minds and souls and deep expressive voices of both musicians. Hope is warm, outreaching and remarkable.
