‘Mike Parker’s Unified Theory’, an international jazz project founded by New York double bassist and composer Mike Parker, combines elements of Avant-Garde Jazz, Rock, Hip-Hop, Funk, and Romantic Classical music to create a truly original style which emphasizes both the written and improvised. In 2011, Parker recorded the group’s first album ‘Prelude’ in New York shortly before leaving for Europe.
Parker has reformed the group in Krakow, Poland where he is joined by Slawek Pezda (tenor sax), Bartek Prucnal (alto sax), Cyprian Baszynski (trumpet), and Dawid Fortuna (drums), 4 of Poland’s greatest young jazz talents, to perform a highly energetic and engaging program of original music. Each member of the band has won both the Tarnow International Jazz Competition (2010, 2012) and the Jazz Juniors International Jazz Competition (2011, 2012) as members of N.S.I. and/or PeGaPoFo, along with receiving various other individual awards and recognitions. The group has performed in festivals and clubs throughout Central Europe and their second album, recorded in spring '13, is set for release in the fall and will be supported by a European Tour.
