Jeff Parker may still be best known for his work with Chicago post-rockers Tortoise. In our opinion, Parker has yet to receive the acclaim his formidable chops and unique vision merit, but the upcoming new record w/ The New Breed is poised to change that.

How Jeff Parker Created His Unique ‘New Breed’ of Jazz

Jeff Parker’s R&B-centric, hip-hop, funk and glitchy jazz-indebted songs are some of the most forward-thinking sounds in modern jazz.
