A Lark Ascending Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 On the 'Who to look out for in 2010' page in this month's Jazzwise, four different reviewers mention Alexander Hawkins - John Fordham, BBC Jazz on 3, Duncan Heining, Oliver Weindling. In each case they don't mention anyone else. (26 critics asked in all). Well done, Alex! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Yes, Bev, I too noticed that - a definite vote of confidence. Also for those that haven't checked Alexander Hawkins' website recently there's exciting news of a new trio release with Alex playing Hammond available here http://www.boweavilrecordings.com/ I'm very much looking forward to this trio playing with Joe McPhee in a couple of weeks - ticket already snaffled - should be a late highlight of the year And No Now is so is still very high in my list of albums of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen Jazzwise yet, so thank you! That is certainly very kind of those reviewers to mention me. Please come and say hi at the McPhee gig...really looking forward to that one...certainly a privilege to get to play with those three guys!

mjazzg Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 oops, just realised that the album by the new band Decoy that i referred to in previous post is already posted on another thread under New Releases. Twice mentioned is better than not at all I suppose...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Hawkins Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Just 'upping' this...a couple of months back, the BBC asked me to do a session with my Ensemble for their 'Jazz on 3' show...I'm really delighted with how it came out, and the show will be broadcast in February. Anyhow, even though it hasn't gone out yet, by virtue of it having been recorded this year, I'm flattered to say that 'Jazz on 3' included it in their 'best sessions of 2009' programme, available to 'listen again' here. There's some fun stuff throughout the show; and we're on last - it's a new tune of mine called 'Elmoic'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed S Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Probably stupidity on my part but I can't figure out from your website how to order the disc. Help please. Having the same problem. What's the secret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Hawkins Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi Ed - oops, sorry - still not sorted that. Have sent you a PM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
