Biography
A technically proficient pianist, Knocky Parker spent the majority of his profession performing pre-swing jazz in configurations which range from inspired to some little bit corny. Parker found a lot of his early encounter playing piano in European swing bands located in his indigenous Texas, like the Wanderers (documenting together in 1935) as well as the Light Crust Doughboys (1937-1939). After armed forces service, Parker caused the Zutty Singleton-Albert Nicholas Trio, gained a Ph.D., and became a university professor, teaching British at Kentucky Wesleyan University and later on the School of South Florida. Furthermore to his “time work,” Parker performed and documented fairly frequently throughout his profession, dealing with Doc Evans, Omer Simeon, Tony Parenti, and many more, including being a piano soloist. Being a head Parker documented for Texstar (1949), Paradox, GHB, and London, and he also led many periods for Audiophile (including a pioneering task from 1960 where he documented every Scott Joplin rag), Jazzology, and Euphonic.
