Pitchfork Best new music: Jeff Parker's 'Suite for Max Brown' - "an effortlessly detailed album"

"Parker builds out a fast-slashing range of ideas using dozens of other sounds and instruments, most of which he plays himself. They’re disparate in color and texture, pronounced and often short, each one elbowing or sliding its way in front of the one before it, impatient to steal the show. As a player and composer, Parker shines throughout. As an arranger, he catches fire" - Pitchfork wrote in review of former Tortoise guitarist's new album, a new jazz album "full of tradition and experimentation" (grade 8.4). The album is named after his mother.
