Invisible Cinema finds Parks in excellent form as both a soloist and composer, buoyed by the


support of guitarist Mike Moreno, bassist Matt Penman and drummer Eric Harland. Together and apart, these players have assumed roles at the forefront of jazz in the new millennium.


Harland has made lasting music with Geri Allen, the legendary Charles Lloyd and of course Terence Blanchard, in whose band


Harland first encountered the young Aaron Parks. Moreno, fast becoming one of the


most sought-after plectrists of his generation, featured Parks on his own acclaimed debut album, Between the Lines. Penman, Harland


and Parks were also heard to great effect on the bassist’s 2007 release, Catch of the Day.


Parks recalls a Harland-led quartet tour of Japan, with Penman and guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel, as “one of the most amazing


musical experiences of my life. Playing with that rhythm section is so easy. Tey just fit each other like a glove.” If Penman and


Harland were a natural choice for Invisible Cinema, Mike Moreno was the puzzle piece that brought it to completion. “With the guitar quartet, these songs really started


to make sense to me,” Parks notes. “It was exactly the sonic environment I needed. Mike and I have played together with


Kendrick Scott, in John Ellis’s band and so many other contexts. Tere’s this lyricism about his playing that I’m really into.”
