Jazz / Avant-Garde, Post-Bop, Avant-Garde Jazz
Ernest Dawkins - Sax (Alto), Reeds (Multiple), Flute, Sax (Tenor)
Avreeayl Ra - Drums
Bob Ackerman - Liner Notes
Steve Berry - Trombone
Yosef Ben Israel - Bass
This is an exciting band. Ernest Dawkins (heard on alto, tenor, and flute) heads the New Horizons Ensemble, a high-energy avant-garde sextet also including trombonist Steve Berry, trumpeter Ameen A.C. Muhammad, guitarist Jeff Parker, bassist Yosef Ben Israel, and drummer Avreeayl Ra. The driving rhythm section and rather individual horn stylists perform eight diverse pieces by Dawkins (who also contributed the arrangements) which cover a variety of moods, are not shy to swing, and temporarily embrace melodies. Each selection is stirring and full of surprises and fire. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Ernest Dawkins
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Avant-Garde, Post-Bop, Avant-Garde Jazz
As the leader of New Horizons Ensemble, Ernest Dawkins has performed music ranging from free bop to free form, occasionally displaying its links to the past while definitely looking ahead. Dawkins remembered hearing Anthony Braxton (a neighbor) practice as a youth. He originally played bass and then drums before settling on the saxophone in 1973. He attended the AACM school and studied music at the Vandercook College of Music and with the AACM "elders" (including Joseph Jarman and Chico Freeman). After playing with local ensembles (including the AACM Big Band, Ed Wilkerson's Shadow Vignettes big band, and Douglas Ewart's Clarinet Choir), in 1979 Dawkins formed New Horizons Ensemble which eventually grew into a pianoless sextet. His adventurous group (consisting in 1994 of Dawkins, trombonist Steve Berry, trumpeter Ameen Muhammad, guitarist Jeffery Parker, bassist Yosef Ben Israel, and drummer Reggie Nicholson) has performed regularly in Chicago, at festivals, and in Europe, in addition to making three recordings for the Silkheart label.
