Evan Parker is not a man given to hyperbole, so if the great English “free” saxophonist says this is “one of the best records I have ever made”, it is worth taking note. As the Wind is an atmospheric, three-cornered conversation between Parker and two less-than-usual percussionists.


French lithophonist Toma Gouband coaxes blunt notes from tuned stones, while US drummer Mark Nauseef (better known for rock playing of a different kind, including a brief spell with Thin Lizzy) produces a variety of contrasting metallic sounds. Together, they describe an austere, echoing soundscape, which elicits a thoughtful, even coy response from Parker.
