No Fear by John Stevens with Trevor Watts, Barry Guy, released on Spotlite Records in 1978.

No Fear Review by François Couture

...No Fear is one of drummer John Stevens' excellent jazzier sessions. Backed by his regular acolytes Trevor Watts and Barry Guy, the leader of the Spontaneous Music Ensemble revels in the hot free jazz licks he and the saxophonist came up with. His playing is superbly detailed by the recording, the interplay between his hi-hat cymbals and snare drum being particularly impressive in this jazz context. Watts pours a lot of soul into his horn, occasionally sounding like an alto version of Charles Gayle. Guy's bass work is brilliant but slightly undermined by the recording. No Fear may belong to Stevens' jazzier output (like the Spontaneous Music Ensemble's mid-'60s LP Challenge), but the music allows much freedom to the players...
