Pianist Aaron Parks has been at the forefront of exploring the boundaries of jazz, always challenging the limits of his own work, exploring new melodies, textures, and formations.
He drew the attention of critics and audiences when he joined the lineup of veteran trumpeter Terence Blanchard, with whom he recorded four albums: "Bounce" (2003), "Flow" (2005), Grammy winner "A Tale of God's Will A Requiem for Katrina” (2007) and the soundtrack for Spike Lee's "Inside Man" (2006).
He was born in Seattle in 1983, and at the age of 14 began his piano studies at the University of Washington. At age 16, he moved to the Manhattan School of Music in New York, where he studied with pianist Kenny Barron, receiving numerous awards including the Cole Porter Fellow of the American Pianists Association in 2001.
He has released several albums in his own name, such as "Invisible Cinema", the Blue Note debut. He recorded with Christian Scott, Kendrick Scott, Ambrose Akinmusire and Kurt Rosenwinkel.
In 2017, through ECM, he launched the work "Find the Way", recorded with the same formation he presents at SeixalJazz. This work is inspired by the music of Alice Coltrane and Shirley Horn and has garnered amazing reviews from the press.
