About

A new album of solo guitar works - recorded by Graeme Gibson at Sholo Studio in Altadena, California (aka Jeff's House) over two days in June 2021. It includes interpretations of Thelonious Monk's "Ugly Beauty" and the standard "My Ideal," plus six original compositions including "Four Folks," "La Jetée" (a tune he recorded with Tortoise in 1998), and four totally new loop-driven, stratiform works that marry melodic improvisation with electronic textures.

December 2021

Forfolks is as welcoming as it is musically adventurous. Void of production or virtuosic solo excesses, it allows the listener inside the guitarist's soundworld for an instinctively guided, infectiously listenable tour.

March 2022

Out of necessity, mobility begets both versatility and self-sufficiency. Guitarist Jeff Parker certainly gets around, geographically and stylistically. In a career that spans over three decades and is still evolving, he’s been an inveterate touring musician, based in either Chicago or Los Angeles. And Forfolks confirms to his ability to create a complete and authentically broad musical experience using only tools that he can carry.
