Jeff Parker is a genre-defying guitarist, composer, and producer best known for his work at the intersection of jazz, experimental rock, and electronic music. A longtime member of the influential post-rock group Tortoise, Parker has also built a diverse solo career marked by deeply personal, sonically rich records like The New Breed and Suite for Max Brown.

Blending live instrumentation with sampling, hip-hop rhythms, and improvisational jazz, Parker’s music reflects his roots in Chicago’s avant-garde scene and the innovative spirit of the AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians). Whether performing solo or collaborating with artists across genres, Parker’s work is consistently exploratory, emotional, and rhythmically compelling.
