Featuring the leading English pianist and improviser Alexander
Hawkins, the final Stet Lab event of the 2009-2010 season will take
place at 7:15 pm on Tuesday 15 June 2010 at the Ó Riada Hall, UCC
Music Building, Sundays Well, Cork, Ireland.

Recently heard performing with the legendary Sonny Simmons, and with
the pioneering Joe McPhee, Alexander Hawkins has been dubbed “one of
the brightest rising young stars of British jazz and improvisation” by
John Eyles (All About Jazz). This appearance at Stet Lab marks his
Irish debut.

Hawkins is a powerful and inventive performer best know as a member of
the transatlantic Convergence Quartet (with Dominic Lash, Taylor Ho
Bynum and Harris Eisenstadt), and his own 6-piece Ensemble (featuring
Orphy Robinson, Otto Fischer, Hannah Marshall, Lash and Javier
Carmona). In the British improvised music scene Hawkins is the most
sought after pianist of his generation, as sideman he has worked in
Evan Parker’s trio and quartet, and he has performed with jazz and
improvised music luminaries including Louis Moholo-Moholo, Lol
Coxhill, John Butcher, Mark Sanders, Steve Williamson, Tom Arthurs,
John Russell, Pat Thomas and Eddie Prévost.

Also performing at the event will be Stet Lab regulars including Kevin
Terry, Susan Geaney, Marian Murray and Han-earl Park.

Opening the event will be Stet Lab’s resident ensemble The Real-Time
Company (for the Ad-Hoc Association) of… led by Cork-based improviser
and bass player Tony O’Connor.

The event will begin at 7:15 pm (doors open at 7:00 pm) and entry is
€10 (€5).

Stet Lab gratefully acknowledges the support of the UCC School of
Music and the Basement Project Space for this month’s event.

Riada Hall, UCC Music Building, Sundays Well, Cork, Ireland at 7:15pm

And as if that’s not enough, we’ve got one of the most unusual
manifestations of The Real-Time Company (for the Ad-Hoc Association)
Of… with Paul Dowling (bass guitar) and Tony O’Connor (bass guitar).

Come along, witness the compelling real-time collisions, and help make
the 2009-2010 season go out with a bang, fizz, clang, buzz, bloop and
bleep!

…And, in the meantime, here’s a clip of Alex Hawkins with Tony Marsh:

Big, big thanks to guest artist Alexander Hawkins for taking time out
of his busy schedule to join the Lab; for his generosity and his
musicality. I can’t think of a better improviser with whom to close
the season.

Thanks also to the double basses of The Real-Time Company (for the Ad-
Hoc Association) Of… (Paul Dowling and Tony O’Connor), and to all who
performed (Andrea Bonino, Juniper Hill, Marian Murray, Han-earl Park
and Kevin Terry). We gratefully acknowledges the support of the UCC
School of Music and the Basement Project Space in making the June 2010
event possible. Thank again to Veronica Tadman for work behind the
scenes, and to photographer Julia Healy (see the photographs at

) And as always, thanks to all who came to listen, and to all who
supported the Lab during the 2009–2010 season.

We’re taking a short break for the summer, but Stet Lab will return in
October 2010! See you then!
