This past Saturday my band Water Babies played a double-bill at a The Comet Tavern with our friend, saxophonist Lee Redfield. Lee’s band plays pop covers in a jazz style, funkier soul-jazz tunes and some more free, modal kinds of explorations.

My brother Brett lives in Brooklyn and agreed to be my 100 CD’s Project accomplice for New York. Today I received an email from him with pictures and descriptions of where he left them. With his son Bayard in tow, he traveled from mid-town to Greenwich Village, picked perfect locations, and wrote such wonderful descriptions […]
My accomplices are still hard at work, helping me spread the 100 CD’s Project far and wide! Thanks to my friend Matt in Ohio, the Buckeye State can now enjoy the music on my new CD, Jason Parker Quartet – “No More, No Less”. Matt dropped a couple in Akron the other day, and has […]
This weekend, in response to the feeding frenzy of consumerism that is Black Friday, I decided to offer downloads of all Jason Parker Quartet CD’s for free. I thought about reducing the price down to $1.00 or something cheap, but in the ended figured I’d just give ’em away and see what happened. The Debate […]

Thanks to my friend Brandi and my dear mother, the 100 CD’s Project branched out to Chicago and Houston this past week! The new Jason Parker Quartet CD “No More, No Less” will soon find homes across the globe thanks to my wonderful accomplices. Brandi found the time to place CD’s all over Chicago even […]
Thanks to my handy-dandy Twitter feed I was alerted to a thought-provoking response to my 100 CD’s Project today. Fantasy artist and illustrator Matt Lichtenwalner wrote about the project over at the Industrial Jazz Group’s blog. I, in turn, wrote a ridiculously long response. I’d be impressed if you read the whole thing, and even […]
The 100 CD’s Project began on October 20, 2009 as an experiment in getting my new CD out into the world. You can see all the posts relating to the project here. Another one of my 100 CD’s Project CD’s has been found, and this one made it into the hands of a jazz lover! […]
The 100 CD’s Project traveled north to picturesque Port Townsend, WA yesterday. My band Water Babies played a show at Water Street Brewing and I took the opportunity to drop another 10 copies of Jason Parker Quartet, “No More, No Less” in the wild. After much thought I decided to try a different approach this […]
