Aaron Parks "Invisible Cinema" Lead Sheets

Continuing with the Aaron-Parks-love from last week's blog post, I found a very cool jazz blog that actually has the PDF's of ALL of the charts from Aaron's debut record "Invisible Cinema".  Aaron posted the link to this great blog on his MySpace blog called NextBop.com.  I highly recommend that while you're over there getting Aaron's charts that you check out the other stuff they have to offer.  I posted the chart of one of my favorite songs off the album below.

James Farm Band

In case you haven't heard, Joshua Redman has a new collaborative project called the James Farm Band with Aaron Parks, Matt Penman, & Eric Harland.  News from the group's Facebook Fan Page shows that they've been hard at work in the studio and are finished recording for their highly anticipated Spring 2011 release. If you haven't checked out some of the rehearsal tracks on their MySpace you're in for a treat.  The music is, of course, very cool and it'll be great to hear the finished product.  Until then, check out some of the shots from the recording session below.  Also, I'd love to hear what their shows have been like over the last tour.  Leave your stories in the comment box.
