Album Notes & Community Reviews

The acclaimed guitarist, best known for his work in the post-rock group Tortoise, steps into a leader role for this distinctly jazz-oriented release. Backed by a remarkably tight rhythm section, Parker seamlessly weaves complex post-bop chordal structures with fluid, deeply rhythmic jazz fusion exploration.
