HFT play world jazz, jazz that is urbane and savvy, a well-travelled, warm music that is equally at ease being in the sun as resting in the shade. Listening to them live, you’d hear jazz in the guitar melodies & walking bass, fusion in the raga-esque phrasing, world music in the djembe & cajon grooves, the tabla bols and free-jazz scat. Meaty bass and delicate brush, wailing guitar and throbbing drum--drawing inspiration from everywhere, HFT’s music speaks of the here and now.
