  • ALEXANDER HAWKINS TRIO 'Sounds Like All the Future Jazz You
    ALEXANDER HAWKINS TRIO 'Sounds like all the future jazz you might imagine without ever being able to conceive of the details' (The Guardian) Alexander Hawkins is a pianist, organist, composer and bandleader who is ‘unlike anything else in modern creative music’ (Ni Kantu) and whose recent work has reached a ‘dazzling new apex’ (Downbeat). Self-taught, he works in a vast array of creative contexts. His own highly distinctive soundworld is forged through the search to reconcile both his love of free improvisation and profound fascination with composition and structure. In 2012, he featured on the official ballot for the 75th Annual Downbeat Reader’s Poll in the organ category (as he had in 2010). The journal El Intruso voted him #1 in the keyboard category, and #5 in the piano category, in its 2010 poll; he also placed #4 in the keyboard category in 2011, and at #2 in 2012. His albums have for several years regularly featured in critics’ ‘end of year’ lists. Alongside his work as a bandleader, he regularly appears live and on record with many iconic figures of the music, including Louis Moholo-Moholo, Mulatu Astatke, and Joe McPhee. Other credits include Evan Parker, Wadada Leo Smith, Sonny Simmons, and Marshall Allen. He is also a collaborator in the Convergence Quartet with two important peers from the North American creative music scene – Taylor Ho Bynum and Harris Eisenstadt. He is increasingly also known for his writing, and in 2012 was chosen as a member of the first edition of the London Symphony Orchestra’s ‘Soundhub’ scheme for young composers.

  • NJA British Jazz Timeline with Pics(Rev3) 11.06.19
    British Jazz Timeline Pre-1900 – In the beginning The music to become known as ‘jazz’ is generally thought to have been conceived in America during the second half of the nineteenth century by African-Americans who combined their work songs, melodies, spirituals and rhythms with European music and instruments – a process that accelerated after the abolition of slavery in 1865. Black entertainment was already a reality, however, before this evolution had taken place and in 1873 the Fisk Jubilee Singers, an Afro- American a cappella ensemble, came to the UK on a fundraising tour during which they were asked to sing for Queen Victoria. The Fisk Singers were followed into Britain by a wide variety of Afro-American presentations such as minstrel shows and full-scale revues, a pattern that continued into the early twentieth century. [The Fisk Jubilee Singers c1890s © Fisk University] 1900s – The ragtime era Ragtime, a new style of syncopated popular music, was published as sheet music from the late 1890s for dance and theatre orchestras in the USA, and the availability of printed music for the piano (as well as player-piano rolls) encouraged American – and later British – enthusiasts to explore the style for themselves. Early rags like Charles Johnson’s ‘Dill Pickles’ and George Botsford’s ‘Black and White Rag’ were widely performed by parlour-pianists. Ragtime became a principal musical force in American and British popular culture (notably after the publication of Irving Berlin’s popular song ‘Alexander’s Ragtime Band’ in 1911 and the show Hullo, Ragtime! staged at the London Hippodrome the following year) and it was a central influence on the development of jazz.

  • Cold Comfort and Home Truths: Informing the Review of Jazz in England ______Foreword and Summary by John Fordham
    Cold Comfort and Home Truths: Informing the review of jazz in England _________________________________________________________________________________________ Foreword and Summary by John Fordham The American-born art of jazz has been a vivid presence in English music for over 90 years - taking root in the country’s culture within a decade of the first jazz recordings being released in New York in 1917, and fascinating successive generations of players and fans ever since with variations on the original models that have told increasingly distinctive local stories. But the focus of this report is not a comprehensive history of jazz music’s evolution in England, intriguing though it has been. Our objectives are practical and contemporary - to enable the English jazz constituency to use its jazz-supporting resources as effectively as possible, and to help facilitate the promotion of all forms “Jazz has shown of jazz, and further its development. This report thus extraordinary surveys an English jazz community, currently in excellent creative fettle amidst severe economic powers of survival hardship, from the starting point of two key questions: and self-renewal “Where are we now? And where do we want to be?” inside a society not The parameters of ‘Cold Comfort and Home Truths’ begin where the fairly healthy economics and self- designed for it.” sustaining fusion of jazz and pre-rock commercial and dance styles left off over 60 years ago. Jazz, which Eric Hobsbawm dominated the sounds of mass-entertainment in the first ‘Uncommon People’ half of the 20th century, moved aside for Elvis Presley and The Beatles, and thus closer to art-music - with its enthusiastic but inevitably smaller audiences, and the concomitant necessity for investment and support beyond the means of box-offices or record shops alone.

    KOFI MAKOWSKI PROJECT – MUSICIANS’ BIOs TONY KOFI – SOPRANO, ALTO, BARITONE SAXOPHONE www.tonykofi.com www.myspace.com/tonykofi Winner, best instrumentalist of the year 2008 BBC Jazz awards Winner, best Ensemble at the 2005 Parliamentary Jazz Awards.

While in the US, Tony studied with such musical luminaries as Andy Magee, Ernie Watts and Billy Pearce, gaining invaluable experience that he then put to best use when he returned to the UK. From 1991, Tony was part of the UK’s leading jazz group of the time – The Jazz Warriors.

Tony was also vital part of Gary Crosby’s Nu Troop; this was a big stepping stone for his solo and ensemble work, contributing massively to his own solo projects and 1 educational projects. Tony is still committed to this ethos, regularly running his own workshops and giving individual lessons.
