Mia Sollis Bright Light Pdf

Jeff Parker is arguably the most exciting and thoughtful jazz guitarist of the past two decades, a masterful free improviser who's also fluent in everything from postbop to postrock. Considering his busy schedule, it’s no surprise Bright Light in Winter is only Parker’s third album as a leader. Bassist Chris Lopes and drummer Chad Taylor have almost as much input on this session as their leader, since they wrote two and three pieces, respectively, for the album. The equal participation can be felt throughout their performances, which feel engaging whether Parker is strumming warm jazz chords or bordering on harmolodics.

Mark Sherman is extremely unfair. For decades he was a first-call percussionist on Broadway, propelling many of the best-selling shows whose music we all know. But then he decided to focus on the vibraphone, becoming a world leader on the unheralded instrument as he showcased his remarkable songwriting ability in album after album. And now he is focused on the piano, bringing a delicate depth of feeling and gentle virtuosity to one of the staple instruments of jazz. Unfair? That much skill should be illegal.
