Evan Parker - So it Goes... (2023)

Live due recording of two revered figures on the British free jazz and improv scene - saxophonist Evan Parker and bassist Barry Guy - from February 2023.

Their playing is best summed up with a short excerpt from the blog by Martin Schray written a few years ago on the occasion of a duo concert in Zurich: "Evan Parker and Barry Guy are always a perfect match. Both have known each other since the big bang of British improv in the 1960s...their nearly patented individual styles have become free jazz history and so it was no surprise that they didn't need time to warm up to come to the point. Both played marvelous loud/quiet passages, especially when Guy's overtones met Parker's circular breathing. Or, as Parker once put it: 'Effectively, we're just machines turning sunlight into music.' Their music was full of meticulous details about the idea of communicating and both deployed a musical empathy, which was simply sensational - even after such a long time of playing together."
