These jazz stalwarts, these talented individuals capable of syncing up into a greater whole, these fellows of Infinite Jest, have come together for an 80 minute long form encounter of langorous rhythms, smooth horn licks, and the sort of atmosphere gestation not heard since the Blue Note heyday.

In their first bout of new music since 2022's critically celebrated Mondays at Enfield Tennis Academy, Jeff Parker and his ETA IVtet find themselves exploring the depths of improvised jazz grooves on 'The Way Out of Easy'. Featuring long time members Anna Butterss (Jason Isbell, SML) on upright bass, Josh Johnson (Meshell Ndegeocello, SML) on saxophone, and Jay Bellerose (Elton John, Punch Brothers), the selections are honed and focused to bring the atmosphere of one specific night's setlist. The delight of the space (now sadly defunct) helped Parker build a beautifully multi-textured, gently-shifting four-dimensional construction out of simple ideas.
