  Encyclopedia: Horace Parlan
Parlan's soulfulness, his exuberance and inventiveness, create a climate different from anything else in jazz; and though he can certainly be compared with some better-known jazz pianists of the era, it's the differences that count.
Parlan generally sounds most comfortable at medium tempos, where his subtle rhythmic articulations can make themselves felt, but in the rare slow ballad performance he is sumptuous and luxurious: on "I Want To Be Loved," the inevitable block chords take on an unusual understated intensity.
Parlan has developed an unique voice in a music that is difficult to find true stylistic individuality.

 Horace Parlan b
Parlan played piano from an early age, his first professional work being in RandB bands during the early and mid-50s.
As a result of contracting polio as a child, Parlan suffered limitations in the use of his right hand; to compensate, he developed a powerful left hand and evolved a distinctive style in which echoes of bop and the blues blend comfortably and to great effect.
Although he is always an interesting soloist, it is in the interplay with other musicians that he displays his talents to the full— a fine example is the set of two duo albums—one of blues, one of spirituals—which he recorded with Shepp.

 HORACE PARLAN / COMPLETE BLUE NOTE SESSIONS
Parlan was strictly a sideman for a while, most notably for Charles Mingus on two of Mingus’s greatest records, Mingus Ah Um and Blues and Roots.
Parlan played on a Mingus record that included his most beautiful paeans to down-home gospel and blues, and that’s the line Parlan is playing with, the moodiness that comes from playing something beautiful well, from transferring what’s in one’s heart through one’s fingers and onto a keyboard.
Parlan’s playing keeps the brother’s horns in line, but it still seems like they are a little too in line.

I had heard Horace Parlan on record for a number of years before I finally saw him peform.
This CD is a real pleasure to hear, because it is an undiluted slice of Horace Parlan - his own compostions, played in a duo setting with Jimmi Pedersen.

Horace Parlan has recorded many albums for SteepleChase since moving permanently to Copenhagen in 1973.
Parlan tends to sound at his best in a trio where he can draw inspiration from his sidemen, so this often-sparse set of unaccompanied piano solos, despite some good moments, is not his most essential outing.
However, Parlan's chordal style is quite distinctive on the five jazz standards (including "Alone Together" and "Lullaby of the Leaves") and his own "Musically Yours," and his fans will be interested in what was his first purely solo date; another record issued later on (The Maestro) also resulted from the same day.

Dedicated is perhaps an understatement, as Parlan was struck with polio when he was very young.
Watching him perform not only shows what a wonderful pianist Parlan became, despite this handicap, but how amazingly inventive he had to be.

Green's clean, graceful style meshes well with Parlan's relaxed technique, while Ervin's robust tone and virile attack provides a good contrast to the laid-back groove the rhythm section lays down.
All of the six original compositions give the band room to stretch out and to not only show off their chops, but move the music somewhat away from generic conventions and find new territory.
In other words, it finds Parlan at a peak, and in many ways, coming into his own as a pianist and a leader.

Although pianist Horace Parlan’s subsequent career has seen him active on the European front (unlike the many names lost to obscurity), he too is deserving of a wider fan base that somehow eluded him during his brief spell with Blue Note.
The development of Parlan as both a stylistic pianist and accomplished writer is mapped out, with producer Alfred Lion’s guidance proving invaluable in establishing some of the label’s most valuable pieces of work.
Ervin had worked with the Parlan trio in a cooperative known as The Playhouse Four (this was the house rhythm team at Minton’s Playhouse, thus the title’s reference), while Parlan encountered Green via Stanley Turrentine’s live sets caught on tape at Minton’s.
