In their first bout of new music since 2022’s critically celebrated Mondays at Enfield TennisAcademy, Jeff Parker and his ETA IVtet find themselves exploring the depths of improvisedjazz grooves on The Way Out of Easy. Featuring long time members Anna Butterss (JasonIsbell, SML) on upright bass, Josh Johnson (Meshell Ndegeocello, SML) on saxophone, andJay Bellerose (Elton John, Punch Brothers), the selections are honed and focused to bring theatmosphere of one specific night’s setlist. The delight of the space (now sadly defunct) helpedParker build a beautifully multi-textured, gently-shifting four-dimensional construction out ofsimple ideas.
