Our Take

Ah, Elmo Hope - the unsung hero of bebop, the underrated genius of the keys. This box set gathers five classic albums from the maestro, showcasing his unparalleled talent and unique sound.

First up, we have "Informal Jazz" - a delightful romp through standards and originals that highlights Hope's playful improvisational skills. His inventive phrasing and rhythmic dexterity are on full display, making this a must-listen for any jazz aficionado.

Next, we have "Homecoming" - a soulful, introspective journey that showcases Hope's sensitive side. The delicate interplay between Hope and his bandmates is truly mesmerising, drawing the listener in with its tender, emotive melodies.

Moving on to "The Elmo Hope Quintet" - a dynamic, energetic outing that sees Hope pushing the boundaries of bebop with his daring compositions and virtuosic playing. The group's chemistry is palpable, creating a sense of exhilaration that is impossible to resist.

Then we have "Elmo Hope Trio" - a stripped-down, intimate affair that allows Hope's piano prowess to shine through. His deft touch and elegant phrasing captivate the listener, drawing them into a world of pure musical bliss.

Finally, we have "All-Star Sessions" - a star-studded affair that sees Hope collaborating with some of the biggest names in jazz. The results are nothing short of magical, with each track brimming with creativity and sophistication. Elmo Hope may not be a household name, but with albums like these, he should be.
