Reviews
“Rhythmic turbulence, focussed harmonic distortion and dynamic interplay all bear down on Uproot but Hawkins and Mitchener also understand that the so-called avant-garde is nothing if not melodic and that beauty can occur when serenity dovetails ferocity.” – Jazzwise Magazine
‘The brilliance and urgency, the openness and the irresistible inner swing of the movement captivated the audience (…) the group took the audience as its fifth member on a stunning many-sided sonic tour. (…) The musical action went beyond known limits‘ – All About Jazz
‘These were remarkable reinventions by two fearless originals’ – The Guardian
‘Their performance was as stunning as it was fresh’ – Financial Times
