Jeff Parker - Like-Coping (CD)

This is the debut recording from guitarist Jeff Parker, one of the most prolific and engaging improvisers and composers on the Chicago scene. He has made a name for himself as a member of the Chicago Underground, Tortoise, Isotope 217, and Ernest Dawkins' New Horizons Ensemble. The record is full of the melodic compositions, uncanny phrasing, and chordal mastery which have become hallmarks of his sound. Bassist Chris Lopes and drummer Chad Taylor, last heard together on Chicago Underground's Playground, round out this intuitive and versatile trio. Fans will relish the chance to hear Parker in this intimate setting recorded and mixed by John McEntire.
