I'm a huge fan of Aaron Parks i've collect almost every cd where he played as leader or side man; this interview is beautiful cause is a confrontantion between two piano players that freely discuss about his evolution as a players. I love it!
@@PabloHeldmusic My pleasure Pablo; i follow you also on Instagram and i've seen your discography retrospective, soon i will catch some of your cds they're really nice (especially the one with Scofield a gift!) Keep this way!!
Thanks for sharing. Aaron Parks is a real original artist.His 2008 release 'Invisible Cinema'' is in my opinion a post - modern 'Jazz' Classic. Its compositions are gorgeous and dynamic, sophisticated yet lyrical and accessible. His newest release 'Little Big' is even more of a 'genre-bending' and really a great example of what creative, expressive , contemporary instrumental music can be. His ECM release 'Find The Way' is another gem - great compositions, terrific chemistry, musical conversation happening.
@@yarpyarp85 Yes, the whole band is killer, Harland superb. Matt Penman holding it all together, swinging/grooving. Curious how certain 'accidents' sometimes generate good surprises. Kurt Rosenwinkel was meant to be the guitarist on the gig, but some contactual impediment prevented him from appearing. Mike Moreno did a terrific job, perhaps in a way the wiser choice, his understatement in the comping, w/ more of textural 'more felt than heard' accompaniment contrasting w/ his searing solos turned out to be a perfect addition.
@@tiluriso Jesus dude, brilliantly said and I had no clue that Kurt was supposed to be on it, I feel like it could have sounded quite different with him. His sound would have fit in so well with it but yes Moreno really sounded great also.
@@yarpyarp85 Yeah, i just read an interview w/ Aaron Parks not too long ago - I forget what website and when it was done - where he mentioned that Kurt was meant to be on the album but couldn't, so Mike Moreno got the call. I had no idea that that was the original plan, but It makes sense that Aaron would have invited Kurt because if I'm not mistaken, Parks was playing in Rosenwinkel's band at the time, and I believe that KR's gig gave AP a lot of visibility, so it made sense for him to 'return the favor', but of course also Kurt is a total bad ass and would have been great anyway. Having said that, I'm almost glad that he didn't make the date because he might have 'stolen the spotlight', in the sense that by 2008 Kurt was 'the one' in terms of being the strongest new voice as a jazz guitar composer/leader/innovative improviser - and 'Invisible Cinema' was Park's major label debut, meaning his work deserved to 'stand on its own'. Meaning I'm happy that it was someone that I wasn't familiar w/ and which meant I got to know another great guitar player and it was someone who left a lot of room for album's leader and his brilliant composition to really shine.
Oh thanks Matt! I’d like to invite you to check out my patreon page patreon.com/pabloheld - people who like the interviews can support me there and get exclusive content related to the interviews. Maybe it’s something for you! Best wishes Pablo
danke für das Interview !!!!!!!!! ich wollte fragen mit was für einer drone du arbeitest - ist das einfach eine digitale variante (wie app etc.) oder ist das ein spezifisches gerät was du benutzt ?
Aah verstehe - das ist ziemlich praktisch - ich kann da sam Bass leider nicht machen außer mir einen Ton abzuspielen und zu dem zu intonieren - ich dachgte vllt gibt es da was spezielles - danke für deine Antwort !!@@PabloHeldmusic
Can anyone type the names Aaron mentioned telling about his influentions in electronic music? Boards of Canada, James Francies, Jason Lindner... who else?
@@HonkyMonky I had looked it up since posting the question, it's essentially low-to-no-intervention' wine - no pesticides used to grow the grapes, which are hand picked when ripe, natural fermentation, no additives - and little to no Sulfites.
I'm having trouble finding information on David Vereas? @22:40 I'm probably spelling it incorrectly.....edit: I found him...Virelles is the correct spelling
For me Lyle is not referenced a lot by jazz pianists, yet remains my biggest influence musically. He was a monster composer and improvised with the precision and command of touch ...almost like Glen Gould, but with unimaginable emotional control and impact. His live solos are almost from a spiritual world. Impossible to duplicate. Listen to the Live solo on The first Circle.. with no audience! He never demanded being a band leader, but really his playing is IMO what sets the Pat Metheny Group apart from most any other touring jazz band of the recorded era. Drama and melodic beauty beyond comparison. Just my opinion. Would love to hear Aaron's thoughts on Lyle.😊 ruclips.net/video/ri8zLrQFuGg/видео.htmlfeature=shared

So true! Harlands playing on that album is so amazing!

Boards of Canada, James Francies, Jason Lindner... who else?
pete rende I think
Aphex Twin and Joe Zawinul
Who is he talking about at 23:00 ? Can´t understand the name :-)
David Virelles !
So fine !
Thank you Maestro Ran!
Great interview. 13:02 = What is 'natural wine'?
Probably organic

Dude, may I add, you look just like a young Dennis Hopper. Peace.
Where's Lyle Mays in all that?
For me Lyle is not referenced a lot by jazz pianists, yet remains my biggest influence musically. He was a monster composer and improvised with the precision and command of touch ...almost like Glen Gould, but with unimaginable emotional control and impact. His live solos are almost from a spiritual world. Impossible to duplicate. Listen to the Live solo on The first Circle.. with no audience!
