Description Pianist and composer Aaron Parks made his first Blue Note appearances as a member of Terence Blanchards band, an outfit akin to The Jazz Messengers in its cultivation of future jazz greats. After appearing on the trumpeters albums Bounce, Flow, and A Tale of Gods Will through the early 2000s, Parks made his own Blue Note debut in 2008 with Invisible Cinema, a striking album that has only grown in its influence across the modern jazz landscape since its release. The banda quartet featuring the pianist with Mike Moreno on guitar, Matt Penman on bass, and Eric Harland on drumstravelled across new sonic and rhythmic frontiers on this set of Parks evocative original compositions which were imbued with a cinematic drama and drew inspiration from the likes of Wayne Shorter, Radiohead, Bjork, Meshell Ndegeocello, and more. This first-time vinyl release includes two bonus tracks previously only available in Japan. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition was mastered by Kevin Gray and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
