(eg) After the album "Togetherness Music", British pianist and composer Alexander Hawkins presents another musical panorama: An ensemble in which his trio with bassist Neil Charles and drummer Stephen Davis meets saxophonist and clarinetist Shabaka Hutchings, guitarist Otto Fischer, and drummer Richard Olátúndé Baker. For anybody who has followed Hawkins' work since his emergence on the British improvised music scene in the mid 2000's this is a fresh band full of familiar musicians with whom Hawkins has played in a wide variety of formations. The new pieces that "Break a Vase" presents emerge from Hawkins' own imagination, but they also capture the thrust of energy in collaborating with these outstanding musicians. credit Onur Pinar Nach dem Album «Togetherness Music» liegt der britische Pianist und Komponist Alexander Hawkins ein weiteres musikalisches Panorama vor: Hawkins präsentiert ein Ensemble, in dem sein Trio mit dem Bassisten Neil Charles und dem Schlagzeuger Stephen Davis auf den Saxofonisten und Klarinettisten Shabaka Hutchings, den Gitarristen Otto Fischer sowie den Schlagzeuger Richard Olátúndé Baker trifft. Es ist dies eine neue Band voller Gesichter, mit denen Hawkins in verschiedensten Formationen bereits gespielt hat. Die neuen Stücke, die «Break a Vase» präsentiert, entspringen Hawkins eigenen Vorstellungskraft, aber sie fangen auch den Schub von Energie ein in der Zusammenarbeit mit diesen herausragenden Musikern.
