The past, present, and future of jazz brilliantly coexist on “Present Time”, the second album by tenor and soprano saxophone virtuoso & visionary composer Matt Parker. Parker and his fellow travelers – bassist Alan Hampton & drummer Reggie Quinerly – constantly shift the listener’s awareness of time through music, from the march rhythms of New Orleans to the stark freedom of group improvisation.Special Guests include Michael Arthur, live drawings, and Emily Braden, vocals.
