Paul Carr is an English guitarist who first emerged during the mid to late 1980s as a member of the James Taylor Quartet. Prior to this he worked as a London-based freelance musician, mainly on the London jazz scene.
After studying popular music in the early 1980s at Newcastle College, Carr continued to undertake a teaching degree at Middlesex University, followed by a PhD under the supervision of British composer Gavin Bryars.[1][2]
Since the early 1990s, Carr has been more involved in popular music education. He is currently head of The University of Glamorgan's Music Academy,[3] in Cardiff, Wales.
In 2013, Carr edited the first academically focused volume of papers to detail Frank Zappa's legacy, Frank Zappa and the And,[4] appearing as part of the Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series. Drawing together an international list of writers from both the academic and music worlds, it is a pioneering collection that links and appraises a wide range of Zappa's work and influence including modernism, technology, satire, avant-garde, cinema and mortality.
