William Parker Organ Quartet - Uncle Joe's Spirit House

A gorgeous soul-jazz organ quartet album that hearkens back to early-mid 60s sessions of similar form; fully revitalized by William Parker's indelible compositions and the generous musical gifts of Darryl Foster, Cooper-Moore and Gerald Cleaver. This very special project was produced by Parker for his own Centering Records imprint. Dedicated to his Aunt Carrie Lee & Uncle Joe (pictured on album cover), it was created to celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary in 2010. Released on CD edition back then, this is a newly mastered for vinyl first-time/one-time-only Centering Records LP issue.

Strictly limited LP edition of 500. 140 gram black vinyl, poly-lined inner sleeves, includes full-res download card of album as released on CD in 2010, with 3 additional tracks.

A family thing. And a lot more than that: one of the great bassist's most joyful, sunshine-filled records. An album of very accessible creative jazz with irresistible grooves. A federating record. A gem. - Monsieur Delire
