Parker, William/hugo Costa/philipp Ernsting
Pulsar
The NoBusiness CD 'Pulsar' brings together the legendary double bassist William Parker, alto saxophonist Hugo Costa, and drummer Philipp Ernsting for an intense, genre-defying exploration recorded live at Codarts in Rotterdam on October 11, 2023. Known for pushing the boundaries of jazz, Parker joins forces with Costa and Ernsting, both accomplished experimental musicians, to create a raw, improvisational journey marked by rhythmic depth, intricate textures, and powerful synergy. 'Pulsar' captures each instrumental nuance in vivid clarity. The cover art by Martynas Ivinskas complements the album's bold soundscape, while the design by Danas Mikailionis presents a clean yet striking aesthetic. The album gives an intimate look at the musicians, adding a personal touch to the album's visual presentation. 'Pulsar' is a dynamic release that will appeal to both dedicated fans of Parker's work and new listeners drawn to avant-garde jazz.
