Nine hours of music, from six years, on eight discs, consolidates the bassist-composer-bandleader Parker’s position in New York’s improvisation scene. Appearing in his intuitively telepathic quartet, and with augmented ensembles, Parker’s partnered throughout by the percussionist Hamid Drake, who always makes spontaneous music swing. On the uncompromising 26 minute Tears For The Children of Rawanda, Drake arrives at half time, on a celebratory carnival float of honking brass, with a jazzy night club roll. And we’re there.
