Uproot features two of England's most distinctive voices in modern jazz, pianist Alexander Hawkins and vocal artist Elaine Mitchener, combining their inventive approaches to the idiom. With bassist Neil Charles and drummer Stephen Davis completing the quartet, this release reconceptualizes the traditional norm of vocalist-plus-rhythm-section, imagining new roles and possibilities for each.

Alexander Hawkins (born 3 May ) is a British jazz pianist and composer. Three of the main groups he has led or co-led are the Alexander Hawkins Ensemble; the Convergence Quartet (with Taylor Ho Bynum, Harris Eisenstadt and Dominic Lash); and the Hammond organ-based Decoy (with John Edwards and Steve Noble).

Alexander Hawkins + Elaine Mitchener Quartet Uproot Intakt It’s always a treat to hear pianist Alexander Hawkins, and in the company of vocalist Mitchener he delivers an unexpected session of lyric songs and free improvisation mixed together for compelling effect.

A sure sense of freedom emanates from UpRoot, and The Alexander Hawkins / Elaine Mitchener Quartet are making the most of the risks they are taking. The Quartet is constituted of Hawkins on piano, Mitchener on voice, Neil Charles on double bass, and Stephen Davis on drums and percussion.
