Chicago Underground Duo
TOURDATA
Stadtplatz 2, 5760 Saalfelden am Steinernen Meer
USA
Rob Mazurek - trumpet, piccolo trumpet, RMI electric piano, synths, samplers, voice, flutes, bells
Chad Taylor - drums, percussion, mbira, kalimba
Reappearing after eleven years: the Chicago Underground Duo of Rob Mazurek and Chad Taylor with their eighth album "Hyperglyph" on International Anthem. The two composers, also "trumpeter/electronicist" (Mazurek) and "drummer/mbiraist" (Taylor), sum these elements into an "oversized ambiance" (JazzTimes), driven by rhythms from Nigeria, Mali, Zimbabwe, and Ghana, in the free flight of an improvisational interplay typical of the Windy City between Arkestra and AACM. In other words: this duo builds a mountain of music. But: "Once we have climbed the mountain, we must deal with what is on the other side."
