Musician, composer, improviser, bandleader, mystic and raconteur William Parker
has got so much going on that a mere double CD feels like a restricted
representation of his talents. But from restriction comes focus, and this pair
of performances from two of his standing bands (William Parker Quartet and In
Order To Survive) brings his knack for setting involving musical processes in
motion. Parker’s tunes are not that elaborate, but they are elastic, able to
push way out in some direction and then snap back into shape. This enables each
musician to take the whole group with him as he elaborates upon some idea
proposed by the composition. Both bands include drummer Hamid Drake and alto
saxophonist Rob Brown; In Order To Survive gains bulk and force from pianist
Cooper-Moore, while trumpeter Jalalu-Kalvert Nelson’s quicksilver fluency
contributes to the Quartet’s relative lightness of tone. Each group uses the
last half-century of jazz as a framework to launch long, exploratory forays.
