{"product_id":"2661962","title":"Joe Sanders - Parallels [VINYL]","description":"Just as his basslines never stay within the limits of the obvious, so Joe Sanders' life as a bassist, composer, band-leader and educator has never followed the single, most discernible pathway. A Midwest native, he's studied and played jazz on the opposite coasts of California and New York: a master of the acoustic bass, he's equally at home producing in the digital realm; embedded deep in the living tradition of American jazz; and living, teaching and creating in Europe. All these separate strands come together on his third headline release, 'Parallels'. \u003cp\u003eThe album presents a set of live recordings from a dream line-up that matches the leader's full-bodied acoustic bass presence with Seamus Blake, Logan Richardson and Gregory Hutchinson in performances that capture all the daring and drive of the East coast scene. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlongside them is a set of studio self-productions with guests Jure Pukl and Taylor Eigisti that capture the laid-back dreamy adventurousness of the West Coast. It's all filtered through Joe's uniquely quizzical, questing persona, which unifies all the elements into a thrillingly unpredictable whole, like parallel tracks that head towards the same destination. \r\n\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Parallels' showcases the diversity of Joe Sanders' musicality, yet there's a unity of purpose and intent that makes a compelling whole. \"I believe that records are a way to show where you are and show where you're going. All of this is a challenge for me to express the capability of something I've been learning, because that's what growth is all about. I feel really confident with this one because it's all of my music here: not just jazz, not just inside, not just outside - putting all the sides together in parallel.\"\r\n\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoe Sanders: double bass, electric bass, drums, piano, voice, programming\r\n\u003cbr\u003eLogan Richardson: alto saxophone (1-4)\r\n\u003cbr\u003eSeamus Blake: tenor saxophone (1-4)\r\n\u003cbr\u003eTaylor Eigsti: piano \u0026amp; keyboards (10)\r\n\u003cbr\u003eGreg Hutchinson: drums (1-4)\r\n\u003cbr\u003eJure Pukl: tenor saxophone (6)\r\n\u003cbr\u003eElioté Sanders: melodica (4)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54344662483329,"sku":"2661962","price":37.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/71vCbo7laDL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1748344722","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2661962","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
