Sonically, Elevation builds on the textural complexity of the Parker Abbott Trio’s last album, the Wayfinders. The compositions on Elevation unremittingly shift and overlap between acoustic grand piano, organs, synthesizers, various electric pianos, and melodica. The result is a tremendously rich aural atmosphere, progressively structured and performed. The combination of studio-oriented sonic detailing and intelligent, jazz-oriented writing and improvising on Elevation bring to mind the work of such contemporary stylists as Marco Benevento, Bill Frisell, and Brad Mehldau on his Largo album.

The Wayfinders is the exciting new release from the Parker Abbott Trio, a keyboard-centric group of Toronto based musicians exploring the intersections between acoustic and electronic music. Featuring Teri Parker and Simeon Abbott on piano and keyboards, and Mark Segger on drums and percussion

Gallery is the debut album by the Parker Abbott Piano Duo. The music was developed in concert and rehearsal over the last year and we are proud and excited to share what we believe to be an exciting foray into keyboard duo music. We would also like to offer much love and thanks to all our fans, our families, and specifically to Karl Leung, David Grant, Mike Keuhn, Jeff Elliot
