Eddie Parker's Airborn

Information

In the 1980's Eddie was a writer member of the legendary big band Loose Tubes, contributing importantly to the band's unique sound. This band took the world by storm, recording three albums (and 3 more when they briefly reformed in 2014), and performed internationally with many TV and radio appearances. Eddie continued to perform with and write for the sequel to that band in the 1990's contributing original music ranging from mysterious further reaches of tonality to funky grooves and beautiful ballads. Airborn began life as “a posh covers band”, playing music by Kenny Wheeler, John Taylor, John McLaughlin and Keith Jarrett. Pretty soon, former Loose Tubes flautist Eddie Parker began to write original music for the combination and the Airborn Suite emerged. The music ranges from the mysterious further reaches of tonality to funky grooves to beautiful ballads, with influences from Schoenberg to Santana.
