Know Hope completes the first cycle of Timeline's musical life - a complete re-write of the West African rhythms that inspired the band - dance rhythms from Cameroon, Togo, Burkina Faso and Ghana combined with urban chaos and jazz deconstructions. The paths ahead are investigated whilst the stories of the journey so far are also retold.

"The musicians charmed the audience with their unusual compositions and with their typical British ease." (Ondrej Ernyei, Director Prague Jazz Festival)

"...Tightly-knit and dynamic group of exciting new jazz performers, presenting music that is intriguing and rhythmically creative...a quality jazz act that's fresh and punchy."  (Pam Chowhan, Music manager QEH and Rhythmsticks Festival)

"…One of the country's most exciting jazz acts in performance" (Neil Bennun, Straight No Chaser)
