EVAN PARKER, PAUL LOVENS, PAUL LYTTON

London 1980 [no label, 1CD]

Live at the BBC Studios, London, UK; November 10, 1980. Bonus: Derek Bailey solo, BBC Studios, London, UK; July 14, 1980. Very good FM broadcasts.

From wikipedia:

Recording and performing prolifically with many collaborators, British saxophone player Evan Parker was a pivotal figure in the development of European free jazz and free improvisation. He has pioneered or substantially expanded an array of extended techniques. Critic Ron Wynn describes Parker as “among Europe’s most innovative and intriguing saxophonists… his solo sax work isn’t for the squeamish.”

Derek Bailey was an English avant-garde guitarist and figure in the free improvisation movement. He abandoned conventional ideas and techniques of jazz and music. He emphasized atonality, noise, and whatever unusual sounds he could produce with an electric guitar. Much of his work was released by Incus, a record label he owned.
