Aaron Parks

Aaron Parks is a visionary jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader whose eclectic style ranges from modern jazz to classical influences, often infused with an evocative mixture of electronic and acoustic sounds. Aaron began his musical journey as a child prodigy, attending the University of Washington at age 14 before transferring to the Manhattan School of Music. His profound talent was recognized by Blue Note Records, leading to the release of his acclaimed album "Invisible Cinema" in 2008, which showcased his cinematic approach to composition and ensemble playing.

Over the years, Parks has become well-respected both as a solo artist and as a vital collaborator with other jazz luminaries. His collaborative project "Little Big" manifests his vision of blending genres, which was further explored in the sequel album "Little Big II: Dreams of a Mechanical Man." His diverse body of work over the past decade is marked by a continuous evolution of his sound, with albums like "Arborescence" revealing a more introspective and improvisational solo piano side, while "Find The Way" embraces a more traditional jazz trio format. With his growing discography, including dynamic live sessions like "Nu Deco Ensemble + Aaron Parks: Live from Miami," Aaron Parks stands out as a multifaceted artist in the contemporary music world, always striving to push the boundaries of jazz and beyond.
