William Parker Quartet

Uncle Joe's Spirit House

A special project fully produced by William Parker for his own Centering Records imprint and dedicated to his Aunt Carrie Lee & Uncle Joe (who is pictured on the album cover) – they celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary on August 6th, 2010. William really wanted to get this done in time for this auspicious date and he did. Seven of the songs on this CD were written in December 2009 especially for this recording session which took place on January 22, 2010; Ennio's Tag and Oasis were previously written and they fit in perfectly. A soul-jazz organ quartet album that hearkens back to early-mid 60s sessions of similar form, though fully freshed-up by William Parker's indelible compositions and the musical gifts of Darryl Foster, Cooper-Moore and Gerald Cleaver. This is a straight-up late summer joy to celebrate life with all year 'round! This album will be "officially released" in limited numbers through our world-wide distribution network on October 12, 2010 – until then it will only be available via direct mail-order from AUM Fidelity and from William Parker at his performances. This album is pressed in a limited CD edition of 1000 copies in deluxe 6-panel digipak with liner notes by WP and further family photos courtesy of Uncle Joe. It is recommended to act now on purchase, so that you may enjoy sooner! –SJ
