Dreams of a Mechanical Man is Little Big's second release on Ropeadope Records, recorded after more than two years of touring for Parks, guitarist Greg Tuohey, bassist David "DJ" Ginyard, and drummer Tommy Crane. One primary distinction of this new album, according to Parks, is that "today, the band operates as a single organism. The first record was about the tunes and the aesthetic. This album keeps that focus and also captures the chemistry we've developed on the road, the way this band feels as it makes music in the moment." 2018's Little Big was itself a kind of sequel to Parks' acclaimed Blue Note debut, Invisible Cinema, a 2008 recording that put the composer and pianist in the center of the conversation about how jazz was developing in the new century. With Dreams of a Mechanical Man, Parks continues to explore the possibilities of how the music can find a voice that incorporates influences from popular music, the jazz tradition, classical composition, and folkloric songs-ideas that are now finding their most compelling and mature expression yet, as songwriting, performance, and production come together in surprising ways.
