About this Event

In this evening event, William Parker, composer, bassist, multi-instrumentalist, and bandleader, performs his compositions with his jazz group. Parker’s large ensemble project involves the collective creative forces of the Little Huey Creative Music Orchestra, which is featured in this program. In the words of Parker, “Huey's Pocket Watch was created for all those who wanted to be poets and were told they needed to get a real job. The H in Huey stands for Hope.  Huey's Pocket Watch is a wing of the Little.” 

William Parker is a composer, bassist and multi-instrumentalist, an author and educator who has recorded over 40 albums as a leader that feature a range of concepts, and ensembles from solo bass, quartets, sextets, in addition to hundreds of pieces of vocal music. All of Parker’s music incorporates his concept of Universal Tonality. They all include improvisational languages and possibilities. Parker was recently named the recipient of the Vision 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award.
