One Week Until the CD Release Party For “No More, No Less”

I’m gearing up for the CD Release Party for my new album, “No More, No Less” from the Jason Parker Quartet. The party is still a week away, but I’m working on the set list, rehearsing the band, doing hand exercises so I don’t get fatigued from all the autographs I’ll sign. 😉 It’s a real thrill to have reached this stage of the process, where I get to share the CD with the world and play the songs live with my fantastic band in a room filled with all my closest friends and supporters. Lucid Jazz Lounge will be hoppin’ next Saturday!

In the meantime, I have been making sure the CD will be available in all the usual places, including right here on the blog. Starting October 24th you’ll be able to get a copy of the CD or high-quality downloads from this very page.

I’m also thrilled to be getting some early feedback about the disc. Here are some of the highlights so far:

• Read a preview of the Release Party at Discmakers’ blog Echoes
• Read an interview with me at Ucombo.com
• Hear three tracks from the CD on the internet radio show “Jazz Lives”. Host Curtis Davenport said “Good stuff man! You guys have a cool, tight sound & a nice vibe. “
• Lucas Gillian from AccuJazz Radio said “Sounds great, man! What a killing group you’ve put together. Nice group interaction.” After, that is, he told me that the package smelled like celery!
• Celebrated vocalist Roberta Gambarini sent me a Tweet that said “Congrats on your album, it’s great!”

Thanks to all for your kinds words of encouragement and support! If you’re in the Seattle area I would love to see you at Lucid next Saturday.
