Marvin Parks came to our attention on the Nicole Conte’s ‘Free Souls’ album. Conte produces Park’s debut self titled album and what a lovely album it is. Parks rich deep voice is perfectly accompanied by the cream of Italian jazz musicians on a selection of standards and a few original compositions. The uptempo ‘Charade’, ‘Brother Where are You’ and ‘Awakening’ contrast with the modal ‘Other African Blues’ and mid tempo ‘Nature Boy’ and ‘Sea and Sand’ to make a thoroughly enjoyable, accessible and relaxing album to raise your spirits.
