COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Very Skillful submitted by Meginator on August 28, 2020, 6:08pm While I definitely appreciate the skill necessary to do this type of rapid-fire playing, and do it well, this feels like music that requires significant theoretical knowledge to fully understand and enjoy. Without the necessary background, everything tends to sound like miscellaneous notes thrown together. Parker wows with his technical proficiency, but his solos don’t allow for space and movement, and unfortunately this album is a miss for me though I do enjoy some of Parker’s other recordings.
