Paul Dunmall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Dunmall, British jazz saxophonist plays tenor and soprano saxophone as well as the baritone and the more exotic Saxello and the Northumbrian pipes.
He has a long discography on the Duns Limited Edition label (see http://www.mindyourownmusic.co.uk/duns-lake.htm).
Dunmall has played with most of the leading musicians on the international free jazz and improvised music scene, and is arguably one of the most significant figures on his instrument in British jazz.
As described by freejazz_co_uk on http://www.last.fm/music/Paul+Dunmall/ "Dunmall sounds at times like Sonny Rollins at others like Evan Parker, but arguably surpasses both in the precision and succinctness of expression. He has been described as uncompromising (for example on his own website, http://www.pauldunmall.com/), but his work is the very opposite of indulgent - this is music of the utmost seriousness and importance."
In the 1970s, Dunmall was a member of the Divine Light Mission and toured the US with its band.[1]
Lately he has been performing and recorded with Bourne/Davis/Kane.
