It is hard to overestimate the impact bassist and band leader William Parker has had on creative music over the last four decades. Parker is featured on over 150 recordings under his own name and with Cecil Taylor, David S. Ware and Peter Brötzmann. A performance poet, David Budbill is the author of seven books of poems, eight plays, a novel, a collection of short stories, a picture book for children, a libretto, and dozens of essays, speeches and book reviews.

The very poor sound balance between the reader and the musician greatly diminished the performance overall. I was personally disappointed that a world-famous bassist chose to start the performance with playing a horn. Given the sound problems and the disappointed expectation, I left before the intermission.
