Guille Hill (Album Launch)
“Guillermo Hill… excellent”
All About Jazz
Originally from Montevideo, Uruguay, Guille (pronounced Gee-jay) cut his musical teeth working with some of the finest musicians in Latin America. He moved to London in 1997 and since then has established himself as a first call musician across the musical spectrum, active on both the Latin and Jazz scenes. He has performed regularly at the likes of the Royal Albert Hall, Ronnie Scotts, Pizza Express and The Vortex as well as touring Europe with a wide variety of projects. The list of artists that he has worked with is a testament to his creativity and skill, including Tom Jones and Mica Paris, Latin performers Monica Vasconcelos and Jennifer Lopez and master Brazilian drummer Airto Moreira. Tonight Guille will be launching his new album “Landing”, which he describes as “blending the rich traditions of South American music with hints of jazz, funk, and fusion. Drawing inspiration from the sounds of Uruguay, Brazil, and Argentina the music explores intricate rhythms, evocative melodies and dynamic improvisation.” Joining him will be some of the finest Latin players in the UK including Steve Lodder (Paul McCartney)-piano/keyboards & special guest, the multi-Award-winning saxophonist Julian Siegel.
