Break A Vase
Alexander Hawkins
After the album "Togetherness Music", British pianist and composer
Alexander Hawkins presents another musical panorama: An ensemble
in which his trio with bassist Neil Charles and drummer Stephen
Davis meets saxophonist and clarinetist Shabaka Hutchings, guitarist
Otto Fischer, and drummer Richard Olátúndé Baker. For anybody
who has followed Hawkins's work since his emergence on the British
improvised music scene in the mid 2000's this is a fresh band full of
familiar musicians with whom Hawkins has played in a wide variety of
formations. The new pieces "Break a Vase" presents emerge from
Hawkins' own imagination, but they also capture the thrust of energy
in collaborating with these outstanding musicians.
"Hawkins gives one of his most complete performances to date," writes
Kevin Le Gendre in the liner notes. "Nothing is perhaps more majestic
than the title track, which comes from Derek Walcott's acceptance
speech for the Nobel Prize. 'Break a Vase, and the love that re -
assembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took it's
symmetry for granted when it was whole.' Enjoy then all these wily
bits and pieces that come together in the kind of daring, courageous
construction that is made to last."
FT. STEPHEN DAVIS/NEIL CHARLES A. O.
