In 2009 Jim Hart first came together with Michael Janisch and Dave Smith to create Cloudmakers Trio. Since then their powerfully original vision has grown and sustained an international touring career, keeping them at the forefront of contemporary instrumental music in an exciting, horizon-spanning space where jazz, European improvisation, rock and global beats co-exist in an ever-shifting skyscape of creativity. Through all their various collaborations, the vibes-bass-drums trio has remained the core of the Cloudmakers sound. Now, fifteen years after their inception, the concept has come full circle with the inclusion of a new collaborator, the Grammy-winning Argentinian piano master Leo Genovese, already a veteran of the bands of Esperanza Spalding, Jack DeJohnette, and Wayne Shorter. Jim and Leo met three years running at the Bezau Beats festival in Austria: a mutual respect developed, a collaboration was proposed and Jim wrote a set of pieces for the quartet .“I formed Cloudmakers as a response to the ubiquitous piano trio – trying to give myself space. But I love the sound of piano and vibes, so when we met Leo it felt like it was finally time to close the loop. He plays at the highest level – he’s a very complete musician.” The quartet went into the fabled Abbey Road Studio 3 to record with legendary engineer Sam Okell: A Drop Of Hope In The Ocean Of Uncertainty is the result, the utterly assured, compelling sound of a meeting of musical masters.
