	Welcome to Hawk Central
		The death of Jeff Parker on Saturday was a sad reminder of why football always has been just a game to Jeff's father.
		Jeff was born with congenital heart defects and the odds of him living much past his 14th birthday were slim to none.
		Jeff was as much a part of the Iowa football program as the coaches and players themselves.

	Jeff Parker: The Relatives - PopMatters Music Review
		No one is jockeying for position here: Parker has chosen four generous players, as eager to share the spotlight as to spotlight their own soloing.
		Adapted from performance with Parker's other combo, Isotope 217, it is built atop an almost-tribal bassline that slips and snakes through the track, subtly stretching throughout the course of the track.
		The splendid humor that prevails throughout The Relatives is a testament to Parker's instincts as a bandleader.

	* Dusted Reviews - Jeff Parker *
		It is an important addition to Parker’s catalog in that it presents an under-documented component of his playing, as well as displaying a fascinating contemporary take on the classic guitar trio.
		This is particularly evident on “Onyx”, a composition that Parker debuted with the Chicago Underground Orchestra in 1997.
		Although Parker achieves some very innovative sounds, and, quite interestingly, explores the possible affinities between the jazz guitar trio and contemporary electronic/noise music, these two tracks aren’t as gripping and do not fit well in the context of the rest of the album.

	BBC - Jazz Review - Jeff Parker, Like-Coping
		Parker's deliberate, precise playing has the same resonance and weight as Jim Hall's, with a simple, unadorned approach to melody that seems to come from Ornette Coleman.
		Parker's apparent reluctance to adopt the conventional leader role makes this very much a group record, with Lopes and Taylor providing many of the compositions, plus extra textures from flute, vibes and classical guitar.
		Parker's description of Taylor as a 'young master' in the sleevenotes is spot on; his approach is as individual as Paul Motian or Ed Blackwell.

	Thrill Jockey Records - Artists
		Another part of that appeal, it must be said, is Parker's immense generosity and warm humility, the latter of which perhaps explains why he's only made one other CD as a "leader," the acclaimed trio outing Like Coping, released on Delmark in 2003.
		Parker's been working with bassist Chris Lopes since college days, when they were at Berklee together in Boston in the mid-80s.
		Parker says this session, which was waxed in January, 2004 at SOMA and engineered by John McEntire, is "more 'song-oriented' than the previous album, and less of a jazz-oriented 'blowing date.'" It includes original compositions by Taylor ("Istanbul") and Lopes ("Sea Change," "Bean Stalk,""Toy Boat").

	Jeff Parker - The Relatives - almost cool music review
		After graduation from Boston's Berklee College of Music, Jeff Parker decided to skip the New York jazz scene for awhile in order to pay off student loans and land in a city that seemed to embrace community a bit more than soloists.
		According to just about every article I've read about Parker, he's about as humble as they come and prefers to always stress the importance of the overall output of a collective of musicians rather than the solo work of one (which he restated in the liner notes of the first CD under his name, Like-Coping).
		Opener "Istanbul" is one of the tracks in which the playing of Parker seems to take the real foreground, and the quiet percussive backing and solid bass backbone simply provide a slight bed with which to rest on.

	Jeff Parker! - Jazz Bulletin Board
		Lately ive been on a huge binge of Jeff Parker and Marc Ribot, i was curious how jeff's albums (ive only acquired two, like-coping, the relatives) were perceived by the community and moreso his relationship to jazz on a larger scale.
		When i listen to jeff i cant really get a grasp of who his contemporaries are or what influences are present in his playing.
		Jeff seems as if he is so concious of every note he plays, his space seems to give him time to meditate on the effects of each note as they drift off the guitar, phenomenal!

		By the end of the ‘90s, Parker had established a reputation for involvement not only in Chicago’s rich avant-garde music scene, but also for captivating performances and recordings with a swathe of indie rock musicians.

		Parker for well over a decade now, and it's been a special treat for me to see him slowly but surely realize his dream of drawing good comics and telling great stories his way.
		Jeff is sure to finally hit it big with this book, and rest assured he has earned (the hard way) every bit of success that's coming to him.

	JEFF PARKER, "The Relatives" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
		Jeff Parker has done his hometown cohorts plenty proud as the chief guitarist for Tortoise and Isotope 217, and while his primary fortune may exist within the realms of indie rock, his full strength as a musician lies inside his deep love for jazz.
		But on his second solo LP, Parker opts to stay in the pocket to create a classic electric jazz album heavy on melody and style and light on math.
		Parker's aim with this album was to "get a vibe like some of the great jazz recordings from the '70s when they actually used to play good jazz on commercial radio." With “The Relatives,” his mission is most definitely accomplished.

	Junkmedia: Jeff Parker : The Relatives
		Principally known as lead guitarist for seminal post-rock group Tortoise, Jeff Parker's jazz pedigree is by now common knowledge among fans of the genre.
		The line-up is similar to Parker's previous trio outing, with Chad Taylor on drums, Chris Lopez on bass and newcomer Sam Barsheshet on Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos.
		The quartet's attention to detail on this track is indicative of the session as a whole and affirms their ability to write and perform jazz compositions that are every bit as memorable as pop songs.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Jeff Parker: The Relatives
		The benefit of blindly listening to everything you're going to review before you review it only becomes apparent when you discover that the album you're enjoying was produced by someone whose previous work left you cold.
		In this case, the artist is Jeff Parker, and his previous work is with the seminal Chicago post-rock/jazz combo, Tortoise.
		For the most part, though, Parker's band delivers a solid set of songs that are both sonically intriguing and thematically unified, both challenging and listener-friendly.

		Parker still favors a clean tone, thoughtful note choices over flash at every turn, and a cooperative aesthetic with his bandmates (Parker had his hand in writing only three of eight tracks).
		There's less of a bebop flavor, although his playing is just as harmonically rich, and these songs are much more likely to stick in your head than the slightly more abstract songs on Like-Coping.
		Parker's soloing is unhurried and very melodic, with just enough twists and turns to keep things constantly interesting.

	Jeff Parker - The Relatives - Review - Stylus Magazine
		Barsheshet and Parker especially dart and weave around each other’s lines; after “Istanbul” the relatively hard-charging “Mannerisms” (by Parker) provides rich opportunities for that sort of interchange, Parker’s clear tone and Barsheshet’s slightly rougher electric piano stabs complementing each other beautifully.
		It may be the most purely fun track here to listen to, Parker slipping extra notes and possibilities into the lines of the song, Taylor and Lopes keeping right on his tail, Barsheshet briefly, gloriously slipping out of a supporting role to break things down.
		The Relatives may not be as experimental or boundary pushing as Parker’s recent solo work, or even much of his work with Tortoise, but it’s also much more solidly satisfying.

	The Relatives : Jeff Parker : CD Reviews : One Final Note
		Jeff Parker has a pure, clean tone and a brisk-picked precision that is a joy to the ears.
		There are no surprises, and Parker’s soloing is a cul-de-sac that ends up suggesting the bad idea of borrowing from such a famous rock song.
		Parker and Co. also manage to turn a Marvin Gaye song (“When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You”) into cocktail music, and the fifth track, “Beanstalk”, with its dull rumba shuffle and C flute confection, is just jazz-lite.

	Jeff Parker \| The Relatives
		Jeff Parkerâs second session as a leader, The Relatives, surprises by taking easygoing mainstream flavors and, stirring with spice, manages to honor the forms while tweaking them.
		Parkerâs regular rhythm section, Chris Lopes on bass and NY-Chicago drum machine Chad Taylor on percussion, keep the momentum crisp.
		Parker dances through the sunny tune, the rhythm section percolating along.
