Aaron Parks Little Big

The colourful productions of this legendary jazz leader romantically synergises his forward thinking melodic ideas with sweet and slightly nostalgic compositions. A band that endures over the course of years is bound to deepen and evolve, and that is certainly true of Aaron Parks Little Big, launched by the celebrated pianist in collaboration with guitarist Greg Tuohey, bassist David Ginyard Jr. and original drummer Tommy Crane. Now with new drummer Jongkuk Kim joining the fold, the group is proud to share their third album and their first on Blue Note Records. Even more so than on their previous records, this one prioritizes a collective band identity and in-the-moment communication. It also includes compositions not only from Parks, but also from Tuohey and Ginyard.
