Recently, Reclaimed Soul host Ayana Contreras was joined by guitarist/producer/arranger Jeff Parker. Known for his work in Tortoise, Chicago Underground, with the AACM – Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians and Makaya McCraven, as well as his own solo work, he is part of the connective tissue of so many Chicago music scenes.

He and Ayana talk about his latest album, Suite For Max Brown, his soulful approach towards making music, and about crate digging!
