Alexander Hawkins, Michael Gregory Jackson & Cowboys & Frenchmen

Click the play button to listen

New releases galore this edition to sift through and that's always enjoyable. Pianist Alexander Hawkins goes large ensemble on his new Togetherness Music and which is graced by the presence of the great Evan Parker; the Finnish duo of Timo Lassy and Teppo Mäkynen tear things down on the opening track; the trio of Brian Jones, Adam Hopkins and Trey Pollard chip in with a track from their Kaleidoscope Haze; there are two new bands from Italy; renowned saxophonist Lenny Pickett hooks up with percussionist John Hadfield; Cowboys & Frenchmen get a little further out on their new Our Highway; there's new music from pianist Aki Takase, and a pair of hard-nosed freer things from England (the great Trevor Watts and a quartet led by Olie Brice & Eddie Prevost); and a free jazz quartet from Europe centered around {m: Frank Gratkowski}} & Achim Kaufmann. Also new to the show, but one I missed—Dan Rosenboom's Astral Transference & Seven Dreams. There's also a Michael Gregory Jackson re-release, and some oldies but goodies from Pharoah Sanders and Tomasz Stańko's first album as a leader.
