Happy Birthday, Evan Parker! May your day be as delightfully unpredictable and brilliantly improvised as one of your legendary saxophone solos. You've spent decades pioneering circular breathing techniques, multiphonics, and pushing the boundaries of free jazz—proving that rules are merely suggestions when you're holding a sax.From groundbreaking performances at iconic venues to inspiring countless musicians worldwide with your fearless creativity, you've truly mastered the art of improvisation both on stage and in life. Here's hoping this birthday hits all the right notes (and maybe even some wonderfully unexpected ones). Keep blowing minds—and reeds—for many more years to come!
