Inside the Mind of a Modern Jazz Piano Genius: Aaron Parks’ Musical Revelations | Jazz Lab Ep. 5
In this episode of Jazz Lab, host Noah Kellman sits down with modern jazz piano master Aaron Parks, a forward-thinking musician who first came to the public’s attention during his time with trumpeter Terence Blanchard and has since released numerous albums under his own name contributing monumentally to the jazz idiom. In this episode, Aaron & Noah discuss two-handed solo piano techniques, modern improvisation concepts, advanced rhythm exercises, and more. You can also hear performances by Aaron solo, as well as the two playing duo.
