The Jason Parker Quartets second album,
No More, No Less, will be released at this special Lucid Jazz Lounge event. The JPQ is: Jason Parker (trumpet), Josh Rawlings (piano), Evan Flory-Barnes (bass) and DVonne Lewis (drums). They will be joined on stage, as they are on the album, by guest Cynthia Mullis (tenor saxophone).
No More, No Less is the follow-up to the JPQs self-titled debut album from 2007.
The new CD documents the growth the band has gone through during the past two years and illustrates the cohesive, passionate playing that prompted Earshot Jazz to call them the next generation of Seattle Jazz. Songs include one original by Parker and fresh takes on compositions by a diverse group of songwriters, including Wayne Shorter, Cole Porter, Sam Rivers, Nick Drake, George Gershwin, Duke Pearson and Tatum Greenblatt.
The Jason Parker Quartet performs at Lucid Jazz Lounge in the University District on October 24 at 9:30 PM.
