Book tickets for Hugh Pascall Quintet

An award-winning trumpeter and composer, Hugh studied Jazz at the Royal Academy of Music and at the Paris Conservatoire. In February 2023 he was elected Associate of the Royal Academy of Music (ARAM) by the Academy’s honours committee in recognition of his significant achievements and contribution to UK jazz.

In 2022 his quartet (featuring this well-established rhythm section) embarked on a major tour of the UK, playing 20 dates around the country for his debut album as bandleader - Borderlands - to critical acclaim. For the final 5 dates the quartet was joined by the celebrated London saxophonist James Allsopp and from then on, the quintet was formed. Having toured extensively in 2023, the group have recently recorded their forthcoming album Viewfinder, out soon.

As a featured sideman, Hugh’s performed and recorded with a huge variety of artists, playing at festivals and jazz venues across the country and throughout Europe. Recent projects include recording with New York guitarist Peter Bernstein as a member of the David Ferris Septet and performing in Europe with The Last Poets. He’s also currently a member of Tony Kofi’s Inside Straight and of Aidan Pope’s Octet.
