about

Intakt CD 243

The album 'To Roy' dedicated to trumpeter Roy Campbell, who died in 2014, is the first collaboration between saxophonist Oliver Lake and double bass player William Parker – two important pioneers of contemporary jazz, two great musicians of the USA and two masters of composition and improvisation. After playing a concert in "The Stone" in New York, part of Intakt's festival in January 2012, Lake and Parker took up the label's invitation to record their first album together in Pater Karl's studio in Brooklyn. Both musicians contributed compositions of rare beauty. Shaped by their long experience, their intimacy created spaces for interaction and exciting improvisations. The instruments of these two mature players mingled to create
a single unique sound.

I really appreciate that with such a large group of musicians the overall sound and experience of listening is really spacious, never cluttered. The lovely recording helps that a lot, and of course the compositional aspects that make it breathe are superb- it gets more and more fun as I listen again and again. Jasper Skydecker

I Plan To Stay A Believer: The Inside Songs Of Curtis Mayfield
by William Parker

supported by 12 fans who also own “To Roy”

Hard to pick the best track as this is an absolutely magnificent release. Funkiest Jazz Versions of Curtis Mayfield ever and all live too. Features the legendary Leena Conquest on vocals. Which begs the question; Why are there not more recordings by this superb vocalist? Just listen to "If There's A Hell Down Below" it's intense!! Paul Murphy
