THE RELATIVES

Description

Deluxe reissue on black vinyl and first edition on colored vinyl for this album by Jeff Parker released in 2005 on Thrill Jockey Records. Parker has been a cornerstone of post-rock, jazz, and experimental music for three decades. As a guitarist for the bands Tortoise, Isotope 217, and Chicago Underground, as a sideman for artists such as Joshua Redman, Fred Anderson, and Joey DeFrancesco, and as a solo artist, Parker's work engages in a deep understanding of a constellation of styles while challenging boundaries at every turn. In the 15 years since its release, The Relatives has proven to be a solid reference point in Parker's ever-expanding music. Listening to the breadth of musical landscapes traversed on The Relatives, one cannot mistake the reasons why Parker is today one of the most acclaimed musicians in the current music scene.
