Evan Parker: Saxophone Solos (Vinyl LP: Otoroku)
Otoroku is proud to reissue Evan Parker's first solo LP "Saxophone Solos". Recorded by Martin Davidson in 1975 at the Unity Theatre in London, at that time the preferred concert venue of the Musicians' Co-operative, Parker's densely woven and often cyclical style has yet to form; instead throaty murmurs appear under rough hewn whistles and calls - the wildly energetic beginnings of an extraordinary career. Reissued with liner notes from Seymour Wright in an edition of 500. (Otoroku)

Evan Parker: Six Of One (Vinyl LP: Otoroku)
Originally recorded and released in 1980, "Six of One" beautifully captures the detail in Evan Parker's high frequency split tones for which he is now perhaps better known. Five years on from "Saxophone Solos" and with circular breathing and polyphonics well worn into his live performances, Parker's experimentations here produce sustained passages of brilliant flight. Set into the echoes and resonances of a St Judes On The Hill church, the results are stunning. Transferred from the original master tapes and released in an edition of 500. (Otoroku)

The first CD reissue, from 2003, is long-deleted. The album is recognised not just as a gripping example of Parker's improv credentials, but as one of the key works of the entire genre. The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album both its coveted Crown award and Core Collection status, describing it as "an essential document of modern music".

Evan Parker Transatlantic Art Ensemble: Boustrophedon (CD: ECM)
Evan Parker and Roscoe Mitchell co-founded the Transatlantic Art Ensemble in 2004. The ensemble’s account of Mitchell’s “Composition/Improvisation Nos. 1, 2 & 3” was issued by ECM to critical acclaim (including an album-of-the-year award from France’s Jazzman). “Boustrophedon”, featuring Evan Parker’s music, is the companion volume. Like nothing else in Parker’s discography it features him as composer-conductor, guiding the transatlantic instrumental forces into chamber orchestral territory “somewhere between Gil Evans and Luigi Nono”. There is also, amongst many highlights, some transcendent saxophone playing – from both Parker and Mitchell. Recorded live in Munich. (ECM Records)

Eight soprano saxophone solos from a 2008 solo concert at St. Peter’s in Whitstable.

Evan Parker Quartet: All Knavery And Collusion (CD: Cadillac)
New quartet recording by saxophone maestro Evan Parker. Beautifully crafted 6 panel square digipack CD edition, with original artwork by 'Nervous' Stephen Fowler. Parker, one of the great post-Coltrane saxophonists, has played a monthly gig at the London club The Vortex, for a considerable time.

Evan called these events his 'jazz' gigs and it seemed that the trio's performance came close to seeing Coltrane or Ayler playing at the 5 Spot or one of the legendary New York venues. When Cadillac asked Evan if he would record an album for the label, it was this aspect of his multifaceted talents they had in mind. The quartet you hear on this album (with Paul Lytton, John Edwards and Alexander Hawkins) came together for a gig at the Vortex in Evan's regular slot on June 20th 2019, and what a fine gig it was!

Then the next day they relocated to the beautiful barn-like studio of Rimshot, deep in the Kent countryside to record the album. The location, close to Evan's home, had other resonances, which journalist Chris Searle has described in his sleevenote. The subsequent (and over long) process of mastering and producing the album coincided with the first Covid lockdown and the coincidence of Evan and Mike @ Cadillac both reading Defoe's "Journal of the Plague Year", which provided context and some track titles.
