By All Means!!
Aaron Parks.
The wind is howling outside, rattling anything that isn’t nailed down, making it the perfect night to rip the shrink wrap off this new album from pianist Aaron Parks.
That striking cover art, reminiscent of the old Blue Note style, was just begging to be treated in black and white, even if the record itself is a muted pink/red color.
The music contained in its grooves… well, that’s the cherry on top… it’s classic jazz quartet: Brubeck & Desmond, Getz & Evans. In other words, magical.
If it hadn’t been for a friend on Instagram posting about this album, I would have gone on without ever knowing it, and life would be a little less… enjoyable.
