William Parker Raining on the Moon: Corn Meal Dance
by AAJ Italy Staff
Giganteggia la figura di William Parker nel panorama della musica improvvisata di oggi: predicatore, musicista immenso, teorico, storico coscienzioso, giustiziere a volte, catalizzatore di talenti ed energie, animatore straordinario e responsabile, almeno in gran parte, della rinascita di certo black free gravitante intorno all’area newyorchese.
