Michael Formanek: aka the Stinger
Alexander Hawkins proves an ideal partner on Hammond B3, alongside two longtime collaborators from the trio Thumbscrew—Mary Halvorson on guitar and Tomas Fujiwara on drums—joined by João Almeida on trumpet, as well as John O'Gallagher—now based in Portugal—and Chet Doxas on saxophones. A newly formed septet that knows exactly when to fan the flames—as they do, with relish, on the aptly titled "aka the Stinger."
