REVIEWS

 

Infos EN

British pianist and composer Alexander Hawkins is a creative epicenter of the London jazz scene and is regarded as one of the most innovative musicians with a surprising radius of action. His trio with Neil Charles and Stephen Davis was formed in 2012 and masterfully celebrates the connection of freedom and structure, composition and improvisation. Carnival Celestial is a fantastic work of musical presence and impressively proves what is possible with piano, bass and drums – one of the more convention-laden formats in jazz practice. “Hawkins, Charles, and Davis clearly have moved the piano trio forward and stretched its conceptual horizons with Carnival Celestial, and in doing so, they have contributed to its ongoing vitality,” writes Bill Shoemaker in the liner notes.
 

Infos DE

Der britische Pianist und Komponist Alexander Hawkins ist ein kreatives Epizentrum aus der Londoner Jazz-Szene und gehört zu den einfallsreichsten europäischen Pianisten mit einem überraschenden Aktionsradius. Sein Trio mit Neil Charles und Stephen Davis formierte sich 2012 und zelebriert meisterhaft die Verbindung von Freiheit und Struktur, Komposition und Improvisation. Carnival Celestial ist ein fantastisches Werk musikalischer Gegenwärtigkeit und beweist eindrücklich, was mit Klavier, Bass und Schlagzeug - einem der konventionsreichsten Formate der Jazzpraxis - alles möglich ist. «Hawkins, Charles und Davis haben das Klaviertrio mit Carnival Celestial eindeutig vorangebracht und seine konzeptionellen Horizonte erweitert, womit sie zu seiner anhaltenden Vitalität beitragen», schreibt Bill Shoemaker in den Liner Notes.
