About
Bring together the meteoric saxophonist Isaiah Collier, legendary drummer William Hooker, and iconic bassist William Parker, The Ancients are a stellar trio formed by Parker to play concerts in conjunction with the Ars Nova-curated exhibition Milford Graves: A Mind Body Deal during its run at the Institute Of Contemporary Art Los Angeles. Now a working group, The Ancients bring the free jazz trio languages first explored by the Cecil Taylor Unit and Ornette Colemanโs Golden Circle Band (expanded upon in later eras by Sam Riversโ trio and Parkerโs collective trios with Charles Gayle/Graves and Peter Brรถtzmann/Hamid Drake) into their own unique and scintillating realms of expression.
