Be a Part of the New Jason Parker Quartet CD

The recording process for the new Jason Parker Quartet CD is complete! Josh, Evan, D’Vonne and I spent a wonderful day at MOUSe Studios in Seattle in April and laid down the 7 tracks for the new album. We were also joined by Cynthia Mullis on saxophone for 3 of the tunes and I can’t wait for you to hear how beautiful it all turned out! I’m shooting for a release in late-June or early-July.

But you can pre-order your copy of the CD today! Every pre-order will receive their copy one week before the release to the public. Read on for information on how you can also receive bonus goodies.

I am financing this record in all the usual ways: my own money, grant money, the kindness of friends, etc. But I’ve decided to try something new this time around: micropatronage.

Micropatronage is a system in which the public directly supports the work of others by making donations through the Internet. It relies on the premise that it is easier to find many “patrons” to donate small amounts, rather than a small number of patrons making larger contributions.

To entice you to become a patron, I have come up with some packages that are all unique to this program. Once the CD is complete it will be sold through all the usual channels, but none of these packages will be available after the release date. It is my hope that you will find one of them interesting enough to be willing to donate a small amount of your hard-earned money to help me complete this project.

I’ve set up PayPal buttons to make it easier, but if you’d rather send a check just scroll down to the end of the post and you’ll find the mailing address.

  1. I am humbled and deeply appreciative of the outpouring of support for the new CD. I can’t thank you enough for your donations and messages of encouragement.

    If you haven’t yet become a patron, I hope you’ll consider coming aboard at the Solo Participant level. Each and every patron brings me closer to realizing my vision for the CD. And each and every donation will bring YOU closer to the JPQ.

    Much love,
