Fourth Portal Lab, Royal Pier Road, Gravesend, DA12 2BD

Fourth Portal is proud to present saxophonist Evan Parker, a substantial figure in European free jazz and free improvisation, who pioneered or significantly expanded an array of extended techniques.

"Few musicians have influenced solo improvisation as Evan Parker has, from the adaptation of circular breathing to the vast exploration of his instruments’ potential for harmonics, quarter tones and apparent polyphony."  (Stu Broomer, The Free Jazz Collective).

Parker has recorded a large number of albums both solo or as a group leader and has recorded or performed with Michael Nyman, Derek Bailey, John Zorn, Thurston Moore and many others.
