Billy Parker

• 180 GRAM ANALOGUE VINYL

• LIMITED EDITION

• AUDIOPHILE RE-MASTERING

One of the greatest, most desirable and most elusive albums ever on the legendary Strata East label and that is no small feat considering its catalogue! Drummer Billy Parker is a player that we don't know much. As recorded legacies go, Parker's is brief in the extreme but he'll always be well-remembered for this album's sublime blend of spiritual jazz styles leading a very hip quintet! with Ron Bridgewater on tenor and Cecil Bridgewater on trumpet, Donald Smith on piano, Cecil McBee on bass and Parker on drums.
