William Parker is a master musician, improviser, and composer. He plays the bass, shakuhachi, double reeds, tuba, donso ngoni and gembri. Parker is also a theorist and author of several books. As Steve Greenlee of the Boston Globestated in July 2002, "William Parker has emerged as the most important leader of the current avant-garde scene in jazz."
