William Parker Concert History

William Parker (b. Bronx, New York City, New York, January 10, 1952) is an American free jazz double bassist, poet and composer.

Parker is one of few jazz bassists who regularly plays arco. He also plays several other instruments from around the world, including the West African kora.
