JEFF PARKER
The Relatives
Boomkat Product Review:
Jeff Parker is a member of the genre-splitting outfit Tortoise and has also played in the Chicago Underground Quartet/Trio, as well as the fusion leaning Isotope 217. ‘The Relatives’, his 2004 sophomore album as leader, was included on numerous year-end lists and over time has proved to be a pillar in the pantheon of Parker’s everexpanding music. Recorded with John McEntire at the legendary SOMA Studio (Yo La Tengo, Hamid Drake, Nobukazu Takemura, Jim O’Rourke).
‘The Relatives’ features Sam Barsheshet, Chris Lopes and Chad Taylor, who’ve also worked together in the Jeff Parker Trio and Chicago Underground Orchestra. As a composer, Parker has scored several documentaries and contributed music to feature films and video games. Parker is one independent jazz's most in-demand guitarists He is widely considered it's most versatile guitarist and is gigging constantly throughout the world. The Relatives is Jeff Parker's first solo record on Thrill Jockey, but his second solo record to date. The first was released on legendary Blues and Jazz label, Delmark.
Opening with the wondrous "Istanbul", most reminiscent of the backing to Sam Prekop's amazing self titled debut album, the sequencing here is the central focus, with enough of post rock tradition to remind you of Jeff's dayjob - something that imbues this album with the cross-generic appeal Thrill Jockey so often excel at.
Bit of a classic.
