Hill Collective is a jazz ensemble based in Brighton, UK led by saxophonist and composer Pete Piskov. The group offers a fresh musical attitude using modern improvisation techniques and nuanced compositions - a soulful, avant-garde contribution to the bustling UK jazz landscape.

"Tonal Prophecy" is Hill Collective's first studio album, being released on the 20th April on German label, Fin Du Monde. The sound is varied and rich, drifting from almost-big band horn arrangements to riotous free jazz. The album sits comfortably in it's own vibrant identity greatly inspired by the idiosyncrasies of Sun Ra, Art Ensemble of Chicago and Ornette Coleman.

The "Grand Unison Choir" in the recording is an important statement of the community and DIY ethics that surround the album. A group of about 20 friends chant, laugh, scream and sing, embracing the full spectrum of what makes this music so magical.

Vinyl Pre-orders are available on Bandcamp.

"Enthusiastically embracing the full gamut of freewheeling experimentation ... from wonky bossas to deranged swinging Mingus-ism, this new release from Hill Collective is a compelling refutation to anyone who still thinks that jazz is no fun" - Eddie Myer (New Generation Jazz / QOW Trio)

"Hill Collective seem at ease creating some of the boldest, bombastic and liberating music I have heard from any other release ... Fearless, passionate and deeply joyous" - Ozzy Moysey (Ancient Infinity Orchestra)
