HK's Personal Favorites Here you will find a listing of what HK considers to be his own best work, whether solo guitar improvisations, composed instrumentals, or cover versions.
Recommended Listening : Derek Bailey I suspect that I have spent just about as much time listening to Derek Bailey CDs & LPs as anyone else. He is my favorite guitar hero and I do have a pretty complete collection. I don't listen that much to free improvisation recordings for pleasure - maybe just 2 or 3 times per week or about 15% of my total listening time. I do listen to recordings with Derek Bailey or Evan Parker the most often.
East Bay Express Reviews These consist of a series of annual "top ten" lists which HK wrote for a San Francisco periodical. They represent a sort of guide map to adventures in good music...Unfortunately, none have been published since 2000.
