Fw: [Up-Tight] Nik Turner: Bringing the Music to the People

[gary shindler]

It's actually not a bad interview, it certainly makes Nik out to be more of a jazz musician (or musician period) than the Hawkwind-related stories I've read.

> "Nik Turner is perhaps best known as the founding saxophonist and  flautist for pioneering "space rock" band Hawkwind. As well as  contributing to the profound influence that this band has had on rock  and punk with its focus on community and grassroots movements— including its many benefit shows and long-standing support of  England's free festivals, Turner may also be the first saxophonist to  effectively bring free jazz to rock music."
