by AAJ Staff
[This interview updates last year's Fireside Chat with Chicago guitarist Jeff Parker.] All About Jazz: You reunited with Scott Fields for Song Songs Song. Jeff Parker: I first played with him on this double trio project that he had called Dénouement that came out on his label, Geode, in 1998. ...
Jeff Parker: The Relatives
by Rex Butters
Jeff Parker's second session as a leader, The Relatives, surprises by taking easygoing mainstream flavors and, stirring with spice, manages to honor the forms while tweaking them.

Guitarist Jeff Parker presents what, for lack of a better term, is the new ‘Midwest cool.’ On his first release as a leader (besides the hard to find Vega on the French label Marge), he plays with an authenticity that could be mistaken for intellectualism. His brand of enlightened swing has strengthened the ...
