 William Parker. The Freedman’s Story. In Two Parts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Samuel Williams, of Philadelphia,--a man true and faithful to his race, and courageous in the highest degree,--came to Christiana, travelling most of the way in company with the very men whom Gorsuch had employed to drag into slavery four as good men as ever trod the earth.
Williams listened to their conversation, and marked well their faces, and, being fully satisfied by their awkward movements that they were heavily armed, managed to slip out of the cars at the village of Downington unobserved, and proceeded to Penningtonville, where he encountered Kline, who had started several hours in advance of the others.
Williams spread through the vicinity like a fire in the prairies; and when I went home from my work in the evening, I found Pinckney (whom I should have said before was my brother-in-law), Abraham Johnson, Samuel Thompson, and Joshua Kite at my house, all of them excited about the rumor.

 William Parker and Bill Cole - [Sunday Herald]
New York bassist William Parker remains the most prodigious jazz musician of the modern era, with a back catalogue that includes collaborations with all of the most important contemporary jazz thinkers, from David S Ware and Matthew Shipp through to Peter Brötzmann and Frank Lowe.
Although the bass remains his first instrument, Parker has been gradually incorporating a clutch of traditional folk instruments into his musical armoury, including Mali’s harp-like doson ngoni, the Indonesian flute, the nagaswarm double-reed horn and the dunno, an hour-glass shaped talking drum.
Bill Cole is also known for his work on various exotic instruments, especially with his Untempered Ensemble and there’s something about the chemistry between him and Parker that is always especially potent.
