DECOY
(John Edwards/Alexander Hawkins/Steve Noble)

‘an improvising trio that rocks and swings so hard it’s dangerous…a band that redefine the words “shock and awe”’ – Duncan Heining, Jazzwise

Decoy is the UK improvising trio of John Edwards (double bass), Alexander Hawkins (Hammond B3 Organ), and Steve Noble (drums and percussion). Their three albums have met universal critical acclaim. Following the first two, John Fordham in the Guardian suggested that ‘a cult following is not far behind’; of the third, a live album with Joe McPhee, Clifford Allen wrote that ‘Hawkins, Edwards, Noble and McPhee have created a performance—and a record—for the ages.’

‘a vision not just of what music can be and do, but of what it can become’ – Richard Williams, liner notes, Oto
