RIP Sam Rivers

Aaron Sparks...

Mr. Aaron Parks' "İnvisible Cinema" was one of 2008's most eagerly awaited albums. This young cat had already amazed and inspired loads of people with his work as a sideman, and his first album doesn't disappoint. Here are two clips of Nemesis (a number in 7/4 which became famous even before the album came out), the first one is with the band who recorded the album, and the second one from another gig with Kurt Rosenwinkel. I'm buying a new set of strings first thing tomorrow and I'm going to transcribe his solo from the version on his myspace this week.
