{"product_id":"aaron-parks-little-big-iii-lp-vinyl","title":"Aaron Parks – Little Big III","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAaron Parks came up through the ranks of jazz's most forward-thinking circles, spending formative years as a sideman with Terence Blanchard and releasing work on ECM before finding his voice as a bandleader. Little Big has always operated in that fertile space where jazz improvisation brushes up against indie rock textures and open-ended song forms, the kind of music that rewards the ears of fans who crossed over from one exploratory tradition to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePianist and composer Aaron Parks returns to Blue Note Records - where he released his influential 2008 album, Invisible Cinema - with Little Big III, the third studio album from his acclaimed band Little Big, featuring guitarist Greg Tuohey, bassist David Ginyard Jr., and drummer Jongkuk Kim. Co-produced by Parks and Don Was, the collective's concise, accessible writing and vibrant, empathetic playing elevate the band's powerfully modern, post-genre concept for improvised music in the 21st century. Throughout, the bandmembers' kinship is palpable. There's a vitality at play on the record that is extraordinary; somehow, it's beautiful and raw in equal measure. \"While this record feels the most supple and alive,\" Parks says, \"it also feels like the most focused album Little Big has recorded - the most distilled down to the essence.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Flyways (4:03)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Locked Down (4:26)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Heart Stories (6:23)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Sports (5:51)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Little Beginnings (4:50)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. The Machines Say No (2:29)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Willamina (4:42)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Delusions (4:31)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Ashe (4:31)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602465784664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.18.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Note (00602465784664)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Flyways – 4:03\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Locked Down – 4:26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Heart Stories – 6:23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 Sports – 5:51\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Little Beginnings – 4:50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 The Machines Say No – 2:29\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 Willamina – 4:42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 Delusions – 4:31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB5 Ashe – 4:31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaria Jarzyna – Artwork By, Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDavid Ginyard – Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJongkuk Kim – Drums, Percussion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreg Tuohey – Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoe LaPorta – Mastered By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoe Nino-Hernes – Mastered By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAaron Parks – Piano, Keyboards, Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon Was – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlexander McKeon – Recorded By (Assisted By)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAriel Sharif – Recorded By, Mixed By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54553081807166,"sku":"610962","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12634882310462-transparent-v2.png?v=1791321344","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/aaron-parks-little-big-iii-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
