It takes less than a few minutes to be won over by Winns Win new next month from Evan Parker introduced by the serenity in all brevity of 'WW5'. This Walthamstow homage to socialist hero William Morris and the free improviser John Russell who died earlier this year is released next month by the English avant jazz-indie label Byrd Out. Parker, hugely prolific, thankfully, released one of the very best albums of 2021 earlier this year in All Knavery and Collusion.

There's more on the Leyburn festival including the complete line-up for the 22-24 October gigs here.
