MUSIC

In early 1968 I began my musical path in free form group improvisation as this was happening in the U.K. In 1971 I co-founded the improvising group Ovary Lodge with Keith Tippett (and bassist Roy Babbington) and co-founded with Ian Brighton (Electric Guitar) the improvising group Balance. I also ran a trio for a short while called the Frank Perry Trio with (the late) Derek Bailey and Evan Parker. Below are links to pages where you may read a little and listen to soundbites of these groups.
