Jeff Parker's The New Breed stands as a landmark album in his discography and a pivotal moment for the International Anthem Recording Company, the Chicago-based label that has since become a cornerstone of adventurous modern jazz. Originally released in 2016, the album showcases Parker's singular approach to blending sample-based beat construction with live improvisation and instrumentation, drawing connections between hip-hop processes and his deep roots in jazz.
The New Breed features a remarkable ensemble cast including Paul Bryan on bass, Josh Johnson on alto saxophone and keys, Jamire Williams and Jay Bellerose on drums, and Parker's daughter Ruby on vocals — alongside Parker himself on guitar and synths. This IA11 Deluxe Edition presents the album in style, pressed on 140g vinyl inside a heavyweight reverse-board jacket and accompanied by a 16-page insert booklet and obi strip, making it a fitting way to revisit one of the most quietly influential records of its era.
