About

Slight Freedom, Jeff Parker’s first-ever solo record, presents the first opportunity to hear the guitarist in fully self-revealed circumstances. Recorded in 2013 & 14 in the Hollywood Hills as he relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles, Parker combines the dark tonal palette & percussive attack he’s long been known for with real-time processing elements & field recordings, deftly crafting a unique world of solo guitar music - multilingual, mysterious, alive with extraordinary sonic events, with a sturdy intelligence in charge & a raw homestyle vibe. The record is yet another defining moment for Parker in 2016, a year that already includes a brilliant ensemble album (The New Breed) & Tortoise’s 25th-anniversary tour & record (The Catastrophist).
