Our Take
Our Take
It’s a chilly winter’s day, and what better way to warm yourself up than with the latest album from avant-garde jazz legend William Parker? “Painters Winter” is a mesmerizing journey through the sonic landscapes of Parker’s mind, filled with unexpected twists and turns that will keep you on your toes from start to finish.
From the moment the first notes of the opening track hit your ears, you know you’re in for something special. Parker’s mastery of his craft is on full display here, with each composition carefully crafted to evoke a sense of wonder and exploration. Whether he’s leading his band through a frenetic free jazz explosion or crafting a delicate ballad that tugs at your heartstrings, Parker’s vision is always clear and compelling.
But what truly sets “Painters Winter” apart is Parker’s knack for blending genres and influences with ease. One moment you’ll be swept away by the lush orchestral arrangements, the next you’ll find yourself grooving along to a funky bassline that wouldn’t be out of place on a Parliament record. It’s this eclectic mix of styles that keeps the album feeling fresh and exciting throughout.
So grab a cup of hot cocoa, wrap yourself up in a cosy blanket, and let the music of William Parker’s “Painters Winter” transport you to a world of sonic bliss. Trust us, you won’t regret it.

About the artist
William Parker
William Parker is a musical enigma wrapped in a sonic riddle, a virtuoso bassist who seamlessly blends jazz, avant-garde, and free improvisation into a captivating symphony of sound. With a career spanning over five decades, Parker has firmly established himself as one of the most innovative and influential figures in the contemporary music scene. Born and raised in the vibrant musical hotbed of New York City, Parker cut his teeth playing with legendary artists such as Cecil Taylor, Don Cherry, and David S. Ware. His unconventional approach to the bass, which includes techniques such as bowing and plucking simultaneously, has earned him a reputation as a boundary-pushing pioneer in the world of experimental music. But Parker is not just a master of technique; he is also a deeply spiritual and philosophical thinker whose music reflects his quest for inner truth and enlightenment. His compositions are often infused with themes of love, peace, and unity, and his performances have been described as transcendent, almost otherworldly experiences. Whether he's leading his own ensembles or collaborating with other like-minded artists, William Parker never fails to push the boundaries of what is possible in music. His latest album, "Migration of Silence Into and Out of The Tone World" is a sprawling, ambitious opus that showcases his boundless creativity and unwavering commitment to musical exploration. In a world where conformity reigns supreme, William Parker stands out as a true original, a fearless explorer of the outer reaches of musical expression. He is a living legend, a musical genius, and a true iconoclast. In the words of one critic, "To listen to William Parker is to be transported to a realm beyond words, beyond sound, beyond comprehension. He is a force of nature, a true giant of modern music."
