Alexander Hawkins' piano playing on A Night Walking Through Mirrors is wonderful... the future of jazz piano is safe with Hawkins, Kris Davis, Craig Taborn, and Agustí Fernandez... Taborn's work on The Bell is hypnotic and sublime... Back in the early '80s, a group of people called the Richmond Artists Workshop put together a fantastic series of performances in Richmond... they brought in Fred Frith (twice, once solo and once with Phil Minton) and Henry Kaiser (solo and with members of the Orthotonics and the Muffins)... the highlight for me, though, was Wadada Leo Smith in a beautifully contemplative trio set with Peter Kowald and Bobby Naughton... hard to imagine a series of that magnitude happening here these days...
