NIS Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) I guess this qualifies for inclusion in this thread. Alexander Hawkins new album, favorably reviewed on the Free Jazz blog: http://www.freejazzblog.org/ Is the bandcamp page the best place for someone in the US to buy this? I thought squidco had but I was wrong. Edited December 8, 2013 by NIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Hawkins Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Thanks so much everyone for the kind comments - really appreciate people checking it out! Please do let me know if any trouble at all obtaining it - I do have some copies myself which I can sell if that'd be easier for anyone (although I'm on the road most of next week, so I wouldn't be able to post anything Wednesday-Saturday...)

xybert Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Checking out more of Alexander Hawkins' stuff is pretty high on my to do list... love the Convergence Quartet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Hawkins Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Wow - thank you...I hope there's something of interest I don't want to derail the thread, but on the subject of the Convergence Quartet, I just uploaded these two nicely filmed clips of a recent London gig...repertoire we then recorded in the studio the next day...anyway, maybe of interest! Something from the first set, and something from the second... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Hawkins Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I'm currently checking out Keefe Jackson's Likely So - 'A Round Goal' on Delmark...really fantastic...one of the most interesting records I've heard in ages.

colinmce Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) I liked that Keefe Jackson one, too. Speaking of Chicago, the third & fourth releases from Dave Rempis' label are now available on his website aerophonicrecords.com. One is a duo with Tim Daisy and the other is a trio with Josh Abrams and Avreeyal Ra. Edited December 9, 2013 by colinmce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Reynolds Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Some new tasty looking CDs on Not Two records Details when I place my order including: A new recording from the late Denis Charles with the great late Wilbur Morris with Thomas Borgmann on reeds Band was smoking based on the 2 discs I have. Charles' playing at the end of his life was majestic Same concert as the one on Silkheart, I believe - If it is, it's a good one Edited December 11, 2013 by Steve Reynolds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Currently en route, should have them Monday. The Percussion Quartet didn't quite gel with me upon release but spinning it this last week it clicked right in place. Great band there.
