Alexander Hawkins / John Surman
John Surman saxophone, and Alexander Hawkins piano
Despite nearly 40 years between them in age, this is a meeting of equals. Prepare yourself for something special.
John Surman is a stalwart of the ECM record label, composer and multi-instrumentalist John Surman is a key figure in a generation of European jazz musicians who crucially expanded the international horizons of jazz during the last decades of the twentieth century. In his long career, John Surman has won many accolades, most recently, the prestigious Ivor Novello Jazz Award, which recognised his prowess on the baritone saxophone and his body of original works that have extended far beyond the perceived boundaries of the jazz repertoire and are fired by the contrasts of exquisite lyricism, richly textured sound, and intense, full-bodied improvisation.
Alexander Hawkins is widely recognised as one of the UK’s most innovative and imaginative pianists, organists and composers. Alexander is self-taught with a great love and deep knowledge of the jazz tradition which he brings, along with classical references, to his compositions and improvisations. Along with his solo performances, he works in a vast array of creative contexts including leading and composing for his Quartet and Ensemble; in duo with South African drum legend Louis Moholo-Moholo and in Moholo’s Blokes; and with contemporary leaders, Evan Parker, Anthony Braxton, Joe McPhee, Marshall Allen and Ethio-jazz pioneer Mulatu Astatke.
