Pianist Aaron Parks made his Blue Note debut with 2008's INVISIBLE CINEMA, a 10-track set in an impressionistic post-bop vein. Flanked by drummer Eric Harland, guitarist Mike Moreno, and bassist Matt Penman, Parks employs the elegant, fluid, often progressive style that brought him notice as a member of Terence Blanchard's group, yet the sound here is all Parks's own. This is gorgeous, finely sculpted contemporary jazz that harnesses top-notch group interplay, offsetting the often intricate melodies with restraint and space for a thoroughly absorbing listening experience. minimize
