The Peach Orchard

A masterpiece of modern large-ensemble free improvisation from a cornerstone of the New York downtown scene. 'The Peach Orchard' showcases bassist William Parker's genius as a composer and conductor, shaping the collective chaos of his Little Huey Creative Music Orchestra into a powerful, cohesive statement. The music is a torrent of sound, but it's guided by a deep, spiritual, and melodic sensibility rooted in the blues. It's a key document of the continued vitality of the orchestral avant-garde.
