Unbound: The Intensity of Purpose. A biography of Evan Parker

The aim of Peter Urpeth's book, as Evan Parker approaches his 70th birthday, is to not only record the fascinating life and musical history of the saxophonist -- and to provide an accessible point of entry to the history of free jazz and improvised music in the UK and beyond -- but to establish Evan Parker's place at the very forefront of the radical and alternative new art that flourished in the UK and Europe in the 60s and beyond, and in the context of Parker's life, connections and influences, the contemporary world of culture and social and political events. http://www.unbound.co.uk/books/the-in...
