Jeff Parker ETA IVtet - The Way Out of Easy (2024) [Hi-Res]

In their first bout of new music since 2022's critically celebrated Mondays at Enfield Tennis Academy, Jeff Parker and his ETA IVtet find themselves exploring the depths of improvised jazz grooves on The Way Out of Easy. Featuring long time members Anna Butterss (Jason Isbell, SML) on upright bass, Josh Johnson (Meshell Ndegeocello, SML) on saxophone, and Jay Bellerose (Elton John, Punch Brothers), the selections are honed and focused to bring the atmosphere of one specific night's setlist. The delight of the space (now sadly defunct) helped Parker build a beautifully multi-textured, gently-shifting four-dimensional construction out of simple ideas.

ETA 4tet is:
Anna Butterss - amplified double bass
Jay Bellerose - drums, cymbals and percussion
Josh Johnson - amplified alto saxophone with electronics
Jeff Parker - electric guitar with electronics and sampler
