\u201cI\u2019m always looking for ways to be surprised,\u201d says composer and multi-instrumentalist Jeff Parker<\/strong> as he explains the process, and the thinking, behind his new album, Suite for Max Brown, released via a new partnership between the Chicago\u2013based label International Anthem<\/strong> and Nonesuch Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

His New Breed<\/strong> band-mates and fellow travelers on “Suite For Max Brown<\/strong>” include pianist-saxophonist Josh Johnson; bassist Paul Bryan, who co-produced and mixed the album with Parker; piccolo trumpet player Rob Mazurek, his frequent duo partner; trumpeter Nate Walcott, a veteran of Conor Oberst\u2019s Bright Eyes; drummers Jamire Williams, Makaya McCraven, and Jay Bellerose, Parker\u2019s Berklee School of Music classmate; cellist Katinka Klejin of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra; and even his seventeen-year-old daughter Ruby Parker, a student at the Chicago High School of the Arts, who contributes vocals to opening track, \u201cBuild A Nest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coltrane is a touchstone in Parker<\/strong>\u2019s musical evolution. In fact, Parker<\/strong> recalls, he inadvertently found himself on a new musical path one night about fifteen years ago when he was deejaying at a Chicago bar and playing \u2018Trane: \u201cI used to deejay a lot when I lived in Chicago. This was before Serrato and people deejaying with computers. I had two records on two turntables and a mixer. I was spinning records one night and for about ten minutes I was able to perfectly synch up a Nobukazu Takemura record with the first movement of John Coltrane\u2019s “A Love Supreme” and it had this free jazz, abstract jazz thing going on with a sequenced beat underneath. It sounded so good. That\u2019s what I\u2019m trying to do with “Max Brown”. It\u2019s got a sequenced beat and there are musicians improvising on top or beneath the sequenced drum pattern. That\u2019s what I was going for. Man vs machine.\u201cIt\u2019s a lot of experimenting, a lot of trial and error,\u201d he admits. \u201cI like to pursue situations that take me outside myself, where the things I come up with are things I didn\u2019t really know I could do. I always look at this process as patchwork quilting. You take this stuff and stitch it together until a tapestry forms.\u201d<\/p>\n
