?The Dream?
The idea for this very special recording started with Fayen?s
reoccurring dream of Daniel playing the piano. Fayen, a friend and
admirer of Daniel?s music, realized that there was no released CD of
Daniel playing the piano and she offered to help produce one. Daniel
and Federico had talked in the past about involving William in one of
their projects and decided to invite him to play on this recording. The
recording session with these three musicians resulted in so much
wonderful material that at least two separate volumes will eventually
be released. William Parker said of the recording after first listening
to it that, ?it could be an epic.?
This release is particularly notable, not only for the fact that it is
the first CD of Daniel Carter playing piano, but also because Daniel
has been more involved in the editing and production process than ever
before.
Daniel plays saxophones, trumpet, flute, clarinet and piano. William
plays bass, tuba and shakuhachi. Federico plays drums.
The dream is now reality.

WILLIAM PARKER
As Steve Greenlee of the Boston Globe stated in July 2002, ?William
Parker has emerged as the most important leader of the current
avant-garde scene in jazz.?? He is working in many of the more
important groups in this genre, some of the most prestigious being his
own, i.e. The Curtis Mayfield Project, Little Huey Creative Orchestra,
In Order to Survive, William Parker?s Quartet and other groups.? Mr.
Parker is one of the most important composers in our time period.
???????????
In ?95 the Village Voice characterized William Parker as "the most
consistently brilliant free jazz bassist of all time."?? However from
the beginning of his career Mr. Parker has commanded a unique degree of
respect from fellow musicians.? In 1972 at the age of 20, Parker
quickly became the bass player of choice among his peers.?? Within a
short time he was asked to play with older, established musicians such
as Ed Blackwell, Don Cherry, Bill Dixon, Milford Graves, Billy Higgins,
Sunny Murray, etc.? In 1980 he became a member of the Cecil Taylor
Unit, in which he played a prominent role for over a decade.
???????????
Mr. Parker has released over 20 albums under his leadership.? Not
surprisingly, most of his albums have hit #1 on the CMJ charts.
???????????
These releases and their success highlight William Parker as an
outstanding composer and band leader.? From the beginning of his
musical career, William Parker has been prolific; composing music for
almost every group with whom he has performed.? His compositional
skills span a range including operas, oratorios, ballets, film scores,
and soliloquies for solo instruments. He has also successfully explored
diverse concepts in instrumentation for large and small ensembles.?
William Parker is a poet, with three volumes published thus far: ?Music
Is,? ?Document Humanum,? and ?The Shadow People.?
???????????
?He (William Parker) is something of a father figure? stated Larry
Blumenfeld in a New York Times article this past May.? He has looked
for and encouraged young talent and has been a mentor to some of the
younger musicians.? Most importantly, for Mr. Parker has been the
workshops/ performances for young people that he has conducted, both in
the USA and in Europe.? This has been for him amongst some of his most
important work and greatest successes.?
