Rempis Percussion Quartet: Hunter-Gatherers
by Jeff Stockton
The Chicago Reader has called the Rempis Percussion Quartet “the best live band in town, which could very well be true, as long as the Vandermark 5 is away. Of course, the two bands share a drummer (Tim Daisy) and saxophonist Dave Rempis (here on alto, tenor and baritone) who, in the last few years, has ...
Greg Burk: Ivy Trio
by Nic Jones
It takes its time, this music. On first listen it comes on like the work merely of an accomplished piano trio that ticks all those boxes labeled with qualities such as technical accomplishment, urbanity, harmonic sophistication and the like. Further listening, however, reveals something a whole lot more worthwhile. The spirit of Herbie Nichols stalks the ...
Greg Burk: Ivy Trio
by Jerry D'Souza
Pianist Greg Burk found the perfect ambience in a study lounge of a Harvard University dormitory to record this album. He says that the environment was as close to his childhood living room as a studio could be. Burk also reveals that he was contemplating the direction the music would take while swimming in Walden Pond. ...
Greg Burk: Ivy Trio
by John Kelman
Time can be a funny thing. Recorded prior to his last trio disc, Nothing, Knowing (482 Music, 2005), Greg Burk's Ivy Trio shares more in common than just format. Ivy Trio provides alternate views of three Burk originals--"Look to the Neutrino, “Blink to Be and “Operetta --but with a trio featuring bassist Jonathan Robinson and drummer ...
The Rempis Percussion Quartet: Hunter-Gatherers
by John Sharpe
Recorded live on tour at the Hunter-Gatherer club in Columbia, South Carolina, this double CD is the third release from saxophonist Dave Rempis' The Rempis Percussion Quartet, and a logical progression for what has been called one of the best live bands in Chicago. Rempis' most high profile gig is providing the improvisational firepower ...
The Rempis Percussion Quartet: Hunter-Gatherers
by Nic Jones
As this group has had the opportunity to come of age on record it's become clear that it mines a seam of musical territory similar to that once worked by the trio British alto saxophonist Mike Osborne had with bassist Harry Miller and drummer Louis Moholo back in the 1970s. They owe it no overt debt ...
Memorize the Sky: Memorize the Sky
by Jim Santella
Searching for a cosmic balance, woodwind player Matt Bauder, bassist Zach Wallace and drummer Aaron Siegel spread their improvised music out like the heavens above. Soft as clouds and containing enough space to let their thoughts commingle gradually, the session rides on a feather chariot. Bauder plays tenor saxophone, clarinet and bass clarinet on ...
Memorize The Sky: Memorize The Sky
by Jerry D'Souza
Multi-instrumentalists Matt Bauder, Zach Wallace and Aaron Seigel began performing in Ann Arbor in the late 1990s as Memorize The Sky. Their improvisations make their way through several idioms in a natural flow of ideas bonded by their empathy. In bringing that about, they do not sacrifice structure. There is a coherent logic that can leap ...
Mike Reed's Loose Assembly: Last Year's Ghost
by Jerry D'Souza
Drummer Mike Reed returns with a Last Year's Ghost, this time featuring his band, Loose Assembly. The quintet, in existence for three years, has made a mark on the Chicago jazz scene. This is not surprising knowing what Reed has done and what he is capable of. His recordings, The Treehouse Project (482 Music, 1999) and ...
Mike Reed: Last Year's Ghost
by Nic Jones
482 Music was responsible for one of 2006's most iconoclastic releases, in the form of Intents & Purposes by Kyle Bruckmann's Wrack. This debut by drummer/composer Mike Reed and his group is not on the same level in terms of the way in which it fundamentally breaks with a lot of what has already gone down ...
