Aaron Parks - By All Means

Pianist & composer Aaron Parks expands his trio with bassist Ben Street & drummer Billy Hart into a quartet with the addition of tenor saxophonist Ben Solomon to explore a new color palette on his luminous 3rd Blue Note album By All Means. Although Parks has made his band Little Big the center of his recorded output in recent years, he never stopped writing music that belonged to a different harmonic universe influenced by the likes of Wayne Shorter, Kenny Wheeler, Horace Silver, Duke Ellington, Joe Henderson, Kurt Rosenwinkel and others. By All Means presents seven new Parks original compositions including poignant dedications to his wife & son.
