| | William Parker Volume 2: Summer Snow CD William Parker Discography of CDs
The second volume of collaborative work between free jazz icons William Parker (bass) and Hamid Drake (drums/percussion) is less strident than VOLUME 1 yet no less riveting. Steeped deeply in world music, particularly in the sounds of the Far East, Parker and Drake create a network of pulsing rhythms that are meditative, complex, and entrancing. Parker's use of indigenous instruments (especially the shakuhachi, a Japanese bamboo flute) gives the proceedings a beautiful, haunting feel.
Composers: Hamid Drake; William Parker .
Personnel: William Parker (shakuhachi, talking drum, dumbek); William Parker (bass instrument); Hamid Drake (drums, frame drum, tabla, gong).
Recording information: Two Studio, Brooklyn, NY (09/21/2005).The Wire (p.56) - "The epic live concert is effectively a 90 minute stretch of music, with a baton-swap of percussion, bass and ethnic reed instruments continually refreshing the timbral palette."
JazzTimes (pp.105-106) - "[T]he duo spends a great deal of time exploring non-jazz timbres, beats and melodies to extraordinary ends."

It's always fun when a label can get to the point where side projects from other bands on said label get a home -- then again, with Load Records the whole point almost seems to be that there's a crazy collective out there recombining at will. Ultralyd, a Norwegian-based quartet featuring Noxagt bassist Kjetil Brandsdal replicating his instrumental ...

"A thrilling trip in time. I will never be able to experience the excitement of the original group who shaped the direction of American folk music, but Work o' the Weavers is the next best thing. The musicianship and songs on 'We're Still Here' continues the musical and humanitarian tradition that, I believe, would make the original Weavers proud."--Michael Stock, 'Folk & Acoustic Music' WLRN Miami"Work o' the Weavers succeeds admirably in covering Weavers' tunes. The vocal harmonies are beautiful, and eerily reminiscent of the originals on nearly every track. The group wisely maintains political relevance by alluding to current issues that the Weavers would have sung about. If you...are a fan of The Weavers, and want to hear chestnuts and new songs that have been recorded beautifully, you will want to add 'We're Still Here' to the CD collection."--Sing Out! Magazine"The music is both a stunning tribute to the older group's style and a demonstration of their own talent for harmony singing and song composition. The work is wonderfully faithful to the spirit of the Weavers and one is transported back to the vibrancy and passion of that group's music. But the Work o' the Weavers' singing and playing impresses because of its own merits; they have an innocence and exuberance all too rare in music today. Thoroughly recommended!"--Arthur Elliott, 'Sidestream', Radio 99.7 Brisbane, Australia"Warm, rich voices, with harmonies which capture the original sound of the Weavers in almost eerie fashion. An excellent CD."--John McLaughlin, 'Roots & Wings', WMUC College Park MD"This recording is a rejuvenation of timely tunes and words for our troubled times plus many new selections which add to the rich tradition of folk singing in the 21st century. Consider it a must-have for anyone who appreciated the hard work of the original Weavers and anyone who wants to experience the way a simple song can tell a truth in rhythm and rich, round harmonies."--Amazing Grace, Acoustic Alternative, KXCI Community Radio 91. 3 FM, Tucson AZ"The Work o'the Weavers' first album WAS the Weavers--word for word, note for note, voice almost for voice. I thought I was listening to the original Weavers revived. I was later lucky enough to have them as guests at our Jacob's Ladder Festival in Israel. What lovely people. What a performance! 'We're Still Here' is a heartwarming continuation of their ongoing tribute to the Weavers. This time, however, they add new songs written ...
