Jeff Parker - Suite For Max Brown

Jeff Parker — Suite For Max Brown 

Limited edition translucent black smoke vinyl!

One of The Absolute Sound's Ten Best Jazz Albums of 2020!

"The final number, 'Max Brown,' is a 10-minute, 36-second sound buffet and the magnum opus on an 11-song collection that clocks in under 40 minutes. It features the beat-centric melodicism of backpacker hip-hop, occasionally peeled back to showcase some arresting textures, a journey that buffs your equilibrium like a good night's sleep. Can't wait to hear how Jeff Parker tries to surprise himself next." — Britt Robson, JazzTimes

"The veteran guitarist has created an effortlessly detailed album, full of tradition and experimentation that spans generations. It lives at the vanguard of new jazz music." — Pitchfork

Suite for Max Brown is Jeff Parker's landmark 2020 album, released via International Anthem and Nonesuch Records. It received "Best New Music" honors from Pitchfork, and features a Coltrane cover, "After the Rain." The album drew acclaim for its seamless fusion of sample-based crate-digging, hip-hop production instincts, and post-bop modal improvisation. Its closing interpretation of Coltrane's 1963 classic "After the Rain" is a highlight — a patient, shimmering reimagining featuring Paul Bryan's bass and Makaya McCraven's percussion underpinning Parker's delicate fretwork.

This reissue is a limited edition color pressing on translucent smoke black vinyl.
