The Way Out Of Easy
Jeff Parker ETA IVtet
Parker guides his group into fluid, reactive territory, mixing post-bop ideas with understated electronic inputs. Every cut operates like an active conversation where the members listen and respond to rapid rhythmic changes.
Captured with his ongoing ETA IVtet, these pieces reflect the kinetic, experimental mood of current Chicago jazz. The mixing keeps a warm, close proximity that puts a spotlight on the dialogue between live acoustic playing and careful, minimal digital adjustment.
