City Folk

2014 release, the second album from this collaboration between saxophonist Joshua Redman, pianist Aaron Parks, bassist Matt Penman, and drummer Eric Harland. On CITY FOLK, the group continues to use traditional acoustic jazz quartet instrumentation for it's song-based approach to jazz and incorporates the members' myriad influences. The quartet members have performed in this exact configuration since it's debut at the Montreal Jazz Festival in 2009. James Farm released it's self-titled debut album on Nonesuch to critical acclaim in 2011. All About Jazz lauded the group as 'an all-star quartet featuring four of the best players and improvisers in modern jazz. On top of their astonishing technique and raw style, there is a chemistry underlying it all that equals astonishing music.'
