15+ years in the making. Astonishing, profound, worthy of high honors in the field of such research and any accolades that can be bestowed on such a mighty creation. A labor of both deep love and an exceedingly dedicated nature.

This is not a discography (although a complete-to-publish-date WP discography is a part of it); this is a fully annotated and lavishly illustrated record of every time that William Parker has ever played a gig, with all and every ensemble, as a band member or leader, from 1972 through Vision Festival 2014 when it was first made available.

This is a vast microcosm of one jazz musician that reveals a macrocosm of jazz during the period of time covered – an extensive history of jazz through the work schedule of one profound jazz musician and his affiliations with elemental participants in that history.
