I heard about that, but was a bit put off by the fact that the Beans album with Parker and Hamid Drake disappointed me a bit. I'm a MASSIVE Parker fan, ever since he put on one of the best gigs I've ever seen back when I was just first getting into jazz. It was a solo gig, like an 'evening with William Parker' vibe, with like 40 people in the audience, maybe 10 feet or less from him, and it changed my life. I will check out the EL-P blue series release though, seeing as it's basically El-P taking the place of David S. Ware in the David S. Ware quartet, and the David S. Ware quartet are BADASS. Does he actually rap on it?
