"Two soulful spirits with a creative commonality, from Park Hill, magnetically met after a Count Basie concert. Ironically, they found out that they lived one block from each other. Chad Fowler and Chris Parker shared their love for creative music and began to develop their more than thirty-year friendship.
Their music on this recording, Parkhill Saudade, captures the essence of their close friendship and musical bond. Listen to the deep interaction of their phrases, connections, resolutions, dynamics, transitions and the depth of each composition's musical story with beginnings and endings that flow with a natural pulse from two human heartbeats.
The music like their friendship is sensitive, sensational, soaring, serene, soulful, scintillating, subtle and cohesively boundless. Parkhill Saudade reveals an emotional experience that transcends the illusion of time. Thank you both Chad Fowler and Chris Parker for creating music that enables the listener to feel eternal moments of honest, passionate expression."-Joel Futterman

Contemporary jazz icons Randy Brecker, Bob Mintzer, Chris Vadala and Lyn Seaton have all performed with Parker's band.

Eventually earning Bachelors and Masters degrees in music composition, Parker moved to New York where he has been Professor of Music and head of jazz studies at SUNY Orange.
