"Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet"...
I met Gavin at Derek Bailey's Company Week in 1987. He was teaching university level classical composition. Derek, Gavin, Lol Coxhill, Evan Parker, Barry Guy, Tony Oxley....... came out of the '50's English dance hall orchestra stream and went in some highly personal and unique directions.
History has yet to judge them accurately and completely. They influenced many: Zorn, Braxton, Frith, Kaiser, Chadbourne, Holland.....
Thanks for the reminder. This is music of great substance and emotion.
