@Frown - As always I enjoy your avatars, 8/10. It's a little more bland than usual but it fits you. Who is it?
Kaoru Abe. Japanese improviser who played with more emotion than most other horn players. In his later years he became a heroin addict and his music was still incredibly raw and passionate. He's since passed from an overdose. This isn't my first avatar of him.



He's playing a bass clarinet in this, but it's my favey so I'll stick with it. The whole track's 45 minutes, too. He plays harmonica and alto sax later in the piece
