| 100 Club Hosts Benefit Night For Hugh Hopper |
| Tuesday, 16 December 2008 09:34 | |||||||
A couple of hundred friends, colleagues and well-wishers turned out at London's 100 Club last Sunday night to pay tribute and support to Hugh Hopper, a much-valued brother in jazz, currently ill with leukaemia. All styles of music that Hugh Hopper has pioneered were on show. From jazz-rock from Phil Miller’s In Cahoots and a trio of John Etheridge, John Marshall and Roy Babbington to free improv from Alex Maguire’s group and a duo of pianist Sophia Domancich and drummer Simon Goubert and on to poetry and performance art from Japanese pianist-vocalist Yumi Hara-Cawkwell and later from poet Michael Horowitz. Perhaps the highlight of the evening, however, was the Delta Saxophone Quartet’s lovely, pastoral 'Everything Is You'. Truly beautiful. I think Hugh would have enjoyed every minute. We’re all thinking of you, Hugh, and wishing you well. Duncan Heining
