I’ve had a spate of kind of not so good news recently and my mind’s not exactly in the right state for this. But, whenever things are going bad and I’m starting to feel unhinged, I usually reach for the music of this fine fellow, William Parker (look here). A free music player of the highest order, Mr. Parker has an amazing sound and and an undeniable spirit. His music is healing music of the highest order to me and had the amazing ability to make me feel grounded again, no matter what else is going on. The main force in playing this music is having the ability to feel the pain of all who suffer. To feel it as if it were happening to us, not resting until it ceases to be. Feeling for others and believing that the only way to survive is through love of God (Self) . Making sure that each sound that comes from your instrument is directed and filled with the strongest truth that exists. (from the liner notes) [...] [...] Well, we’ve got a short post for today.

Wow! what an incredible performance. But most definitely I would love to see him at the Velvet Lounge. Have you heard anything specific about it shutting down? Or just more of a general feeling that it will. -cb Yeah, I think the last time I saw him was a couple of years ago at the empty bottle at their jazz fest. he was playing with Brotzmann and Hamid Drake in the “Die Like a Dog” incarnation, with special guest Fred Anderson.

But most definitely I would love to see him at the Velvet Lounge. Have you heard anything specific about it shutting down? Or just more of a general feeling that it will.

My only lament about him is that, as far as I know, he hasn't played in Chicago in the last couple of years. Come back, William, play at the Velvet, please, before it shuts down and moves elsewhere.
