Обложка альбома «By All Means» — Aaron Parks

Most of pianist Aaron Parks’ recordings as a bandleader since the late 2010s have focused on Little Big, an electric quartet whose ultra-polished fusions sound like a cross between ’70s ECM and Radiohead, so an album as relatively rootsy as <i>By All Means</i> comes as a surprise. There’s the perambulating blues of Coltrane (“Parks Lope”), the midnight elegance of Bill Evans (“Dense Phantasy”), Wayne Shorter and Jackie McLean (whose <i>It’s Time</i> had to have inspired <i>By All Means</i>’ cover—look it up). Parks—alongside tenor Ben Solomon, bassist Ben Street and drummer Billy Hart—channels his referents with a fidelity and clarity that feel both intuitively appealing and refreshingly low-concept. He swears this isn’t a nostalgia record, which is fine, but if it were, there are certainly lesser pasts you could serve.
