Jeff Parker Suite For Max Brown [International Anthem]

Multi-instrumentalist Jeff Parker dedicates his seventh solo LP, Suite For Max Brown, to his mother. Fittingly, the record showcases eleven warm and comforting compositions; maternal in their nature. Throughout, there’s ample tenderness ready to envelop the listener; from Parker’s sublime rendition of John Coltrane’s After The Rain to the metal-toned crank being wound on a jack-in-thebox toy on Gnarciss, another cover. Through these beautifully nostalgic jazz instrumentals, listeners are transported back to childhood at one moment and a dimly lit New York lounge at the next.
