“Hawkins is a complete musician with an abiding respect for the past and a hunger for exploring new paths.” – CHICAGO READER Pianist ALEXANDER HAWKINS is one of the fastest rising stars of the UK jazz scene. He possesses a staggering technical ability with a bountiful imagination as both player and composer. While uncompromisingly modern, Hawkins has a deep appreciation for the jazz tradition, given that he has an encyclopedic knowledge of the whole spectrum of jazz and creative music.

Able to draw on hymns and folk music while pursuing the furious freedoms of freebop, Hawkins is a uniquely electrifying jazz artist. Neil Charles bass and Harris Eisenstadt drums Thanks to Made in the UK
