Drummer Whit Dickey works here in two different quartets – both with strong work from Rob Brown on alto sax, but also with very different sounds – given the lineup of each group! The first quartet is on the Peace Planet half of the record – an amazing combo with Matthew Shipp on ... (Jazz) read moreCD

Vessel In Orbit ... CD Aum Fidelity, 2017. Used ...
Temporarily Out Of Stock
Sharply angular sounds from this very hip trio – a record that really grabs you right at the start, then makes sure you're paying attention all the way through! The group's a particularly great setting for the piano of Matthew Shipp – who maybe reminds us here why we found him so great ... (Jazz) read moreCD
A great chapter in the recent revival of Bill Dixon's career – and a set that's even more sophisticated than his Exploding Star Orchestra set! The sound here is bold and focused – hardly what you might expect from the "in search" in the title – a complicated array of ... (Jazz) read moreCD

Gerald Cleaver on drums and percussion, William Parker on bass, and Craig Taborn on piano. (Jazz) CD
Maybe one of the most burning albums we've ever heard from Darius Jones – a set that's done as a stripped-down trio – with the drums of Gerald Cleaver and bass of Chris Lightcap next to Jones' really wonderful work on alto! At times, the record has a freewheeling energy that takes us ... (Jazz) read moreCD

A stunning set of punk jazz, and one that maybe hearkens back to key experiments of this nature from the 80s scene – particularly some of the more groundbreaking work on the New York downtown scene!

The essence of Duke Ellington – but in the hands of William Parker, it's a very different thing than you might expect! The group here is larger than usual for Parker – a great ensemble used in ways that definitely echo some of Ellington's more inventive scoring, especially his mature ... (Jazz) read moreCD
A really unusual album from bassist William Parker – an artist whose musical world is usually quite far from the 70s soul of Curtis Mayfield – even though both Mayfield and Parker are pretty darn righteous individuals! Yet here, Curtis and William come together in a stunning way – ... (Jazz) read moreCD
This album's got a really fitting title – as the whole thing feels like it's ready to take off into the heavens, right from the very first note – driven on strongly by the drums of Gerald Cleaver, who's a perfect match for the bold basswork of William Parker – as the pair work ...

Bassist William Parker in two different settings, but both served up here with a very unified feel! The material was all recorded on a single day, with a core trio that features Parker on bass, Hamid Drake on drums, and Rob Brown on alto – a group whose energy you can really feel building up ...

An incredible collection of work from the legendary bassist William Parker – not a package of older material, but a full ten albums' worth of new recordings done expressly for this set – showing Parker not only as a budding multi-instrumentalist over the space of the past few years ...

A really wonderful collection of music from the legendary bassist William Parker – and one that finally brings a light to an under-illuminated side of his talents – his work with different singers over his long and creative career, all collected together here in a great 3CD set! Make ... (Jazz) read moreCD
Some of the most amazing work we've ever heard from this legendary bassist – a set that's not based around music from a wooden flute, but which instead refers to the instrument in its title – as an illustration of the very organic approach of the work within! The 8CDs offer up eight ... (Jazz) read moreCD

A really unusual session from the great William Parker – a set that's an organ jazz outing, in a mode that's very different than some of Parker's other albums from the time!

Classic mid 90s David S Ware – with a force of blowing that's perhaps a bit too strong at times, but set up nicely within Ware's great group with Matthew Shipp on piano, Susie Ibarra on drums, and William Parker on bass. Titles include "Utopic", "Alignment", "Continuu ... (Jazz) read moreCD
