Konstrukt and Café Oto are back with another release, this one being a live
recording from 2015 featuring pianist Alexander Hawkins. Readers of this blog
will likely be familiar with Konstrukt already, as the Turkish jammers have
been consistently releasing several albums a year (mostly live) over the recent
past, straddling lines of fusion, free jazz/improv, rock, and ethnic
music. They are often in collaboration with another artist or two, and this
time it’s Alexander Hawkins, a relatively young jazz pianist who has been
cutting his teeth in the UK improv scene with the likes of Evan Parker and
Louis Moholo, while also leading his own trio.

Konstrukt typically operate as a quartet with some of them taking on multiple
instruments, but the typical set up is drums, electric bass, reeds, and
electric guitar. Having a pianist like Hawkins adds a lot, then, and this
recording offers a different type of sound than I am used to with Konstrukt
releases.
