Alex Hitchcock’s 3-disc live album, Dream Band has been reviewed in London Jazz News. The album features three different bands, with Alex’s saxophone playing as the constant, recorded live at three consecutive concerts at the Vortex Jazz Club in Dalston.

Patrick Hadfield wrote that “Hitchcock is a dynamic soloist as well as composer, forging winding, propulsive melodies over the whole range of his instrument.”
