Late Late Show Upstairs with Ed Hogben

Lineup

About

London-based trumpeter Ed Hogben is pushing the boundaries of his instrument. Using a custom-built MIDI harmoniser, he can expand the trumpet's traditional role to become both soloist and ensemble at the same time.

Having performed alongside artists including Mo Pleasure and Kwame Yeboah, and previously showcasing his groundbreaking setup with Sheila E and the E-Train at their recent Ronnie Scott's show, Ed has established himself as one of the UK's most inventive emerging jazz musicians.

Inspired by the fearless innovation of Miles Davis, Jon Hassell, Allan Holdsworth and Michael Brecker, Ed blends expressive trumpet playing with intricate harmonic textures, using technology as a natural extension of his musical voice rather than simply an effect.

His performances have attracted millions of views online, introducing his unique sound to audiences around the world. At Ronnie's, he will debut original music alongside jazz-fusion classics with Joe Garland Johnston (guitar), Will Inscoe (keys), Murray Dare (bass) and a special guest on drums.
