Roberto Ottaviano, Alexander Hawkins: Charlie's Blue Skylight
by Neri Pollastri
Roberto Ottaviano non poteva non celebrare il centenario della nascita di Charles Mingus, uno dei musicisti che più ha influenzato la sua poetica e al quale già aveva già dedicato un lavoro con i suoi Six Mobiles, Mingus: Portrait in Six Colours, in occasione del decennale dalla scomparsa.

Moers Festival Interviews: Tomeka Reid
by Martin Longley
The Moers Festival has been operating its Improviser In Residence initiative since 2008, inviting artists every year to dwell in a designated house on Klein Allee, very close to this German city's expansive Schlosspark. The 'Residence' part of the title is quite extreme, as each successive musician is given the keys for a full year's inhabitation, ...

Angelika Niescier & Alexander Hawkins: Soul In Plain Sight
by John Sharpe
Some of pianist British Alexander Hawkins' most potent outings have been in the intimate duo setting. Think, for example, of Leaps In Leicester (Clean Feed, 2016) with Evan Parker or Shards And Constellations (Intakt, 2020) with cellist Tomeka Reid. To that list can be added this richly-detailed double act with the Polish-born, German-resident saxophonist Angelika Niescier. ...

Pianist and composer Alexander Hawkins sequences the ten tracks of Break A Vase in a seemingly counterintuitive manner. The title track, which is taken from West Indian poet Derek Walcott's Nobel Prize acceptance speech, is not heard until track six; it is a solo piano performance which emulates Walcott's words, “Break a vase, and the love ...
