NOT CRAP

probably the best jazz bass player currently plying his trade. His work w/ Charles Gayle, David S Ware Quartet, Matthew Shipp, Peter Brotzmann, Cecil Taylor,etc, etc is incredible, esp recommended is any grouping where he is paired w/ Hamid Drake on drums (Fred Anderson's Blue Winter is a great recent example). I saw Parker and Drake play as a duo a couple months ago and they drove me up a fucking wall spending the first 30 minutes playing flute and hand drum, but the second they swtiched to bass and drums it was brilliant.

but so, William Parker, not crap

He has a new one out called Long Hidden: The Olmec Series which has art by John Fell Ryan!

I almost bought that, but then noticed he was credited w/ flute on the back and decided to pass

I'm looking at it now as it sits in my lap and he is credited with bass, 8-string doson ngoni and percussion.

I could be wrong but none of that stuff spells flute.
