{"product_id":"jeff-parker-the-relatives","title":"Jeff Parker – The Relatives","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Chicago-based jazz guitarist and Tortoise member heads a loose-limbed quartet that also includes Sam Barsheshet, Chris Lopes, and Chad Taylor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough Jeff Parker is the one whose name is written in big letters out on the sidewalk blackboard, the Chicago-based jazz guitarist has always been savvy enough to recognize that-- in the words of De Niro-as-Capone-- nobody wins unless the team wins. As with his work in Tortoise and Isotope 217, Parker's playing as a bandleader is virtually egoless, and on The Relatives he remains steadfast in his willingness to temper and subordinate his instrument's voice in the broader interests of the group at large.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuch cooperative benevolence would seem misplaced if Parker hadn't the wherewithal to surround himself with such sympathetic players. Joining him here is his regular rhythm section of drummer Chad Taylor and bassist Chris Lopes (both of whom played on Parker's 2003 debut as headliner, Like-Coping) as well as Sam Barsheshet on Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer. Here, the quartet move in a loose-limbed, baggy lockstep, with each member given an equal place at the table. If you were to approach this album blindfolded, you might easily assume Taylor or Barsheshet to be the ringmaster, so humbly does Parker deliver his sparklingly clean, unfussy guitar contributions. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/reviews\/albums\/6561-the-relatives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ePitchfork\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5voUfyHArPqFRJoWIWMCGP?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 97.7509%; height: 156.8px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 9.72345%; height: 22.4px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 86.0767%; height: 22.4px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThrill Jockey\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– THRILL129\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 9.72345%; height: 22.4px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 86.0767%; height: 22.4px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eVinyl,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLP, Album, Reissue, Stereo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 9.72345%; height: 22.4px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 86.0767%; height: 22.4px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eUS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 9.72345%; height: 22.4px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 86.0767%; height: 22.4px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2017-07-28\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e28 Jul 2017\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 9.72345%; height: 22.4px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 86.0767%; height: 22.4px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eJazz,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRock,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFunk \/ Soul,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNon-Music\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 44.8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 9.72345%; height: 44.8px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 86.0767%; height: 44.8px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003ePost Bop,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAvant-garde Jazz,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eContemporary Jazz,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eProg Rock,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSoul-Jazz,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eExperimental\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Thrill Jockey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41963782701214,"sku":"90377012910","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/0010601559_10.jpg?v=1660721897","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/jeff-parker-the-relatives","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
