About Jeff Parker ETA IVtet
Jeff Parker ETA IVtet is the Los Angeles group led by Jeff Parker, the guitarist known for his work with Tortoise and for a long run of records in Chicago's jazz and experimental scenes. The quartet takes its name from ETA, the Highland Park bar where it played weekly, and the lineup has featured Josh Johnson on alto saxophone, Anna Butterss on bass and Jay Bellerose on drums.
Its album Mondays at The Enfield Tennis Academy was drawn from recordings of those bar sets. The music builds slowly from Parker's looped guitar figures and simple modal frameworks, with the saxophone and rhythm section drifting in and out over long, patient stretches.
