SKU
482-1021
Dave Rempis (alto & tenor saxophone), Jim Baker (piano), Jason Roebke (bass), Tim Daisy (drums).
"After nearly four years of developing their voice as an improvising collective, Rempis (Triage, Vandermark Five, Thread Quintet, Territory Band) and his quartet make their recorded debut with this live set. Following two years of regular work as a drummerless trio that explored quieter dynamics and the harmonic possibilties of their instruments, the group added drummer Tim Daisy and pianist Jim Baker’s synthesizer to the mix in 2002 to create a louder, more sound-oriented approach to creating longform free improvisations."
"A pristine, studio-quality set, the disc was recorded live at Chicago venue 3030... And it's one of the best recent examples of the powerful, incendiary sounds that mark the town as a prime center of forward-looking jazz." — Peter Aaron, All About Jazz
"If you want to get an idea of what some of the best musicians in Chicago really sound like, this is an excellent starting point. A recording of this group has been long overdue." — Chris Forbes, Cosmic Debris
