John first fell under the spell of free jazz in the 1970s when he wistfully regarded the loft jazz scene from across the Atlantic

I first fell under the spell of free jazz in the 1970s and I have remained captivated ever since. What free time my family and day job as an environmental campaigner doesn't take up is spent listening to as many of the latest releases as I can afford and attending as many concerts as possible.
