{"product_id":"4523132166230","title":"Jeff Parker, ETA Ivtet Quar Happy Today (BRC816) Japan Music CD","description":"Product Description\nA quartet formed around Jeff Parker, also known for his work as the guitarist for Tortoise, releases their latest album, \"Happy Today,\" on Chicago's prestigious label, International Anthem! An ecstatic ambiance leads you to deep listening. Free, quietly passionate, a new dimension of minimal jazz. The Jeff Parker ETA Quartet consists of guitarist Jeff Parker, also renowned as a member of Tortoise, saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Batters, and drummer Jay Bellarose. Three members, Parker, Batters, and Johnson, have also attracted attention for their participation in Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea's solo debut album, \"Honora\" (2026). The quartet was born from a weekly residency started by Parker at the ETA venue in northeastern Los Angeles in 2016. Their latest album, \"Happy Today,\" is released on Chicago's prestigious label, International Anthem, just like their previous two albums. This album documents the band's development from a residency that began in 2016 at ETA in Los Angeles, specifically focusing on their activities in 2025. Featuring saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, and drummer Jay Bellerose, the band delivers minimalist, genre-bending improvisational performances. Recorded and mixed on August 20, 2025, at the Lodge Room, this album contains two lengthy tracks equivalent to one side of an LP. Engineer Bryce Gonzalez, using custom-made equipment, captures the fleeting exhilaration and sense of solidarity born amidst difficult times. Alongside Parker's continued energetic activities, including appearances on NPR's Tiny Desk, this is an important work embodying the band's essence: the power of \"place\" and \"dialogue.\" \u003ctracklist\u003e 01.
