After a superb party, we decided to keep playing.

 Hey we should play some gigs.

We need a name!

And thus The Hipponauts were born – to explore what sounds hip in the universe!”（From https://hipponauts.com/about ）

Hipponauts is an instrumental jazz quartet from Vancouver, Canada, consisting of four members: HAE-IL JUNG (piano and keyboards), ALEX HERNANDEZ MARTINEZ (drums), IAN WIJESINGHE (bass guitar), and IAN LEYLAND (guitar). This is a pure jazz band consisting of four men, which is very original.

For me, jazz music is really enjoyable, it makes you imagine the feeling of sitting on the beach of English Bay in Vancouver with a cup of coffee in hand. The sea breeze is blowing in the direction of the wind mixed with piano and light instrumental melodies. Jazz music gives a relaxed and cozy atmosphere, as if one is in a slow-flowing time tunnel, enjoying the beauty and freedom of music. Perhaps, you can try it out! Listen to their music and walk by English bay.

Going back to their compositions, jazz music is a musical genre developed in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century, blending African musical traditions, European musical elements, and local American musical styles such as blues and folk. Highly improvisational and varied, jazz music is usually based on the blues scale and is played with rich musical ornamentation and improvisation. The versatility and flexibility of this musical style has made it a highly creative and expressive form of music that has attracted many music lovers.

The Hipponauts’ musical style inherits this diversity and improvisation of jazz music. As an instrumental jazz quartet, they are known for their unique arrangements and performance style, blending the sounds of piano, drums, bass guitar and guitar to create layered and dynamic pieces of music. Their music not only showcases the individual talents of each member, but also highlights the collaboration and understanding of the entire band, presenting listeners with an energetic and passionate musical feast.
