Leaps in Leicester by Alexander Hawkins and Evan Parker

Lisbon based Clean Feed Records might be the best jazz recording label of the last twenty years and this under appreciated masterpiece is a great example why. Parker, in his early 70’s at the time is one the great jazz heavyweights who refuses to retreat so long as there is breath to be breathed into his tenor. The younger Hawkins, who has a fantastic resume his damn self, brings glory to an instrument I’m always excited to see in the band, the Hammond organ. Personally, I love the duet format, especially with instrumentalists like this who are incredibly intuitive and make beautiful use of the extra sonic space.
