The skilful and imaginative Canadian saxophonist and composer Michael Blake made himself something of an enigma to the straight-jazz crowd by devoting his early career to culture-hopping personal projects, and years with John Lurie’s Lounge Lizards, the cult band on the borders of avant-jazz, rock, film-noir music and minimalism. In the 1990s, Blake’s talents could have put him alongside his gifted peers in the international jazz polls, but while many focused on updates of classic jazz traditions, he didn’t, and still…
