Pianist Aaron Parks has released Little Big III, the third studio album from his band Little Big, featuring guitarist Greg Tuohey, bassist David Ginyard Jr., and drummer Jongkuk Kim.

The album focuses on being “concise” and “accessible” while also conveying “the vibrancy and empathy of the ensemble.”

Parks comments:

While this record feels the most supple and alive, it also feels like the most focused album Little Big has recorded — the most distilled down to the essence.

Little Big III marks Parks’ return to Blue Note where he released his 2008 album Invisible Cinema, which recently received it’s first-ever vinyl release in their Classic Vinyl Reissue Series.
