Everything about Horace Parlan totally explained
Horace Parlan (born
1931 in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an
American hard bop and
post-bop piano player.
Noted for his contributions to the classic
Charles Mingus recordings
Mingus Ah Um and
Blues & Roots, Parlan often bridges the divide between the chordal sophistication of the bop idiom and the African-American "roots."
His later work, notably a series of duos with the tenor saxophonist
Archie Shepp display a sturdy architecture reminiscent of gospel music. (see
Goin' Home)
As a child, Parlan was stricken with polio, resulting in the partial crippling of his right hand. The handicap, though, has contributed to his development of a particularly "pungent" left-hand chord voicing style, while comping with highly rhythmic phrases with the right.
