Other Dimensions in Music at the JVC Jazz Festival in Paris, Oct. 19-20
by John Sharpe
The Missing Link. That was the title of a 1990s Fred Anderson session, but it could be applied with even greater veracity to the NYC collective Other Dimensions in Music, for this tour encompassing the talents of William Parker, Roy Campbell, Daniel Carter and Hamid Drake, subbing for regular drummer Rashid Bakr. The quartet members have ...
William Parker Bass Quartet featuring Charles Gayle: Requiem
by AAJ Italy Staff
Anni fa in alcuni ambienti accademici italiani nacque una discussione, innescata da un agente, sulla difficoltà estrema o l’opportunità di portare sul palco un collettivo di soli contrabbassi per gli inevitabili problemi di intonazione che, anche nel caso di musicisti molto preparati, una simile formazione pone. William Parker, Alan Silva, Sirone e Henry Grimes hanno scavalcato ...
William Parker: Long Hidden: The Olmec Series
by Jeff Stockton
Solo contrabass performances are an acquired taste that requires confidence and nerve on the part of the performer and the listener. Long Hidden, comprised of music from four separate sessions, pits several solo performances by William Parker on bass and doson ngoni (West African lute) against a few tracks by the upstart Olmec Group.

Al doson ngoni, il nostro traccia percorsi più eterei ...

His approach to the doson n'goni, the so-called “hunter's lute" from West Africa, seems to be quite natural, in no small ...
William Parker: Long Hidden: The Olmec Series
by Eyal Hareuveni
On Long Hidden: The Olmec Series, bass giant William Parker suggests a new cosmology that unearths common threads between the ancient, indigenous cultures of West African Manding and Middle American Olmec people--who lived in the east lowlands of Mexico from 1300 to 400 BC--and modern jazz in one of its more daring manifestations, the solo bass ...
William Parker: Long Hidden: The Olmec Series
by Troy Collins
Conceptual journeyman William Parker is not content to merely excel at that of which he is already a proven master; a bass virtuoso, ensemble leader and multi-disciplinary collaborator, Parker is more than just one of today's finest jazz musicians, he truly embodies the term artist. Long Hidden: The Olmec Series finds Parker in three ...
