Guitarist Jeff Parker is a versatile musician, composer, and producer. His relaxed yet precise guitar playing adapts to numerous musical styles including -- but not limited to -- vanguard improv, post-bop jazz, experimental electronic, funk, and indie rock. Parker is a highly regarded ensemble player, evidenced by membership in Tortoise and Chicago Underground Duo, and 21st century recordings with Makaya McCraven and many others. His leader albums are a diverse lot: 2004's Relatives was a post-bop quartet outing, and 2016's The New Breed reveled in neo-soul, funk, and hip-hop, as did 2020's Suite for Max Brown. In December 2021, Parker released the solo guitar album Forfolks, followed by the archival trio date Eastside Romp and the quartet offering Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy in 2022. October 2023's Lados B with Daniel Villarreal-Carillo and Anna Butterss, was drawn from a two-day October 2020 studio collaboration.
