Although he is still an official member of the American post rock band , guitarist Jeff Parker is also increasingly profiling himself. He has played on albums by and, like this drummer and producer, is affiliated with the experimental jazz label from Chicago. Here Parker takes the liberty of experimenting freely. Suite For Max Brown has the structure of a collage full of whimsical group improvisations
… (including McCraven in the ranks) and pieces recorded by Parker only. Sometimes something comes out that makes the ears perk up, such as the hypnotic piece of kraut rock by Fusion Swirl or the drunken electro jazz of Gnarciss. But those highlights are over in no time. As a whole, Suite For Max Brown makes an artistic, but above all restless impression. (MR)more
