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 colour 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.
