Guitar jazz, and the first album led by Parker, a sideman in the Tortoise/Chicago Underground kinds of bands. Gentle feel overall, like "normal" guitar jazz with nicely complex writing and soloing and a pleasant atmosphere. Plus a couple of clattery free-improv tracks just to show Parker's not going entirely soft. Not sure this is ground-breaking, but it's very enjoyable, not to mention a treat for those who've been waiting for Parker to strike out on his own. 1- Calm 2*- Uptempo, quiet feel 3- Oddball intro, gentle groove 4- Noisy improv 5- Midtempo; gently creeping theme 6- Mid/fast 7*- Free improv, noisy 8*- Upbeat, mid/fast 9*- Fast and loose, in a stop-start pattern 10- Midtempo 11*- Midtempo jazz walk, very much "regular" jazz, with eerie intro 12- Exotic flute, fast laid-back rhythm | ||
