In The Groove: Getting ‘Freakadelic’ with Jeff Parker’s ETA IVtet; new music Oscar Jerome + more
Listen to ‘In the Groove’ with Ryan Patrick Hooper weekdays from noon-3 p.m. ET on 101.9 WDET.
I’m obsessed with Jeff Parker’s latest effort “The Way Out of Easy,” featuring saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss and drummer Jay Bellerose.
His ETA IVtet grew out of a residency in Los Angeles built around “groove-oriented, painterly, polyrhythmic, minimalist and mantric improvised music.” And damn, is it powerful! It stretches out but it’s never meandering. Feels like everything has a purpose. Really hope we get some Jeff Parker in Detroit real soon.
On top of that, new music from Oscar Jerome, MJ Lenderman, Tirzah, Vegyn, Joshua Idehen and more.
