William Parker Violin Trio

about

Together, Parker and drummer Hamid Drake comprise one of the tightest, most micro-reactive rhythm teams in improvised music. In fact, the ‘rhythm section’ tagline only touches on a fraction of what these two are capable of in collusion. Violinist Billy Bang, a colleague of Parker’s since the early 70s, is a master of on-the-fly change ups and can turn from demulcent to stringent in the single flutter of an eyelash. His bow is a precision extension of his brain, acutely calibrated to the tension and temperament of his amplified strings. Coupled with the folk-based intensity that often informs his style the result is one of the most viscerally affecting sounds in improvised music.
