The Cover : : : Design by Shelle Barron / Cover art by Jeff Schlanger—musicWitness / back cover photo by Peter Gannushkin "Rarely have subject and chronicler been better matched. And rarely has a musician’s career been so conscientiously documented. Rick Lopez’s William Parker Sessionography can take its place among the great discographical classics..." —Ed Hazell, from the introduction "Anyone who’s consulted Rick Lopez’s amazing website dedicated to Sam Rivers’ day-to-day activities knows what a tireless, painstaking researcher he is. So it’s great news Lopez has now turned his attention to William Parker. Paging through this Sessionography brought back memories of many gigs I was lucky to attend—and had me kicking myself over ones I’d missed. It’s sure to be a standard resource for anyone investigating the bassist’s epic career." —Kevin Whitehead (jazz critic for NPR’s Fresh Air, and author of Why Jazz: A Concise Guide) "I want to point out the wonderful discographies that Rick Lopez has produced... —treasure troves of information, some of the finest scholarship available on the internet today."—Tom Hull mad props : : : "I bought a copy of your book and it arrived yesterday. All I can say is "WOW!" It was far beyond my expectations and I thank you for helping champion William's work all of these years. I only got to spend 30 minutes with it last night but you've now set the bar very high compared to other discographies I have either bought or seen. It belongs in the top tier alongside Omniverse Sun Ra and the John Coltrane Reference. The layout was perfect - clear and functional. The old flyers, Jeff's art, the album covers, the photos... it all triggered so many memories simultaneously..." —Alan Schneider / No More Records "15 years in the making. Astonishing, profound, worthy of high honors in the field of such research and any positive adjectives that can be bestowed on such a mighty creation. A labor of both deep love and an exceedingly obsessive nature. Just having this book in one's hands feels like holding a sacrament." —AUM Fidelity in NYC "Rick! This book is INCREDIBLE–– NICE work!" —Evan Cordes / Portland, OR "William Parker" "Matthew Shipp" "Cecil Taylor" "David S. Ware" "free jazz" "improv" "Vision" "Peter Brotzmann" "Charles Gayle" "bass" "jazz"
