Alexander Hawkins Ensemble: Step Wide, Step Deep
by Karl Ackermann
As he did on his fine solo piano release Song Singular (Babel, 2014), Alexander Hawkins takes his newly formed ensemble on a path that blurs the perceptions of composition and free improvisation.

Dominic Lash: Opabinia
by John Sharpe
As British bassist Dominic Lash explains in the liners to his Quartet's debut Opabinia, both the album and several of the tracks on it are named after extinct creatures excavated as fossils from the Burgess Shale of British Columbia.
