SUMMARY:CHICAGO / LONDON UNDERGROUND
DESCRIPTION:Rob Mazurek - Piccolo Trumpet + Electronics + Voice\nAlexander Hawkins - Piano\nJohn Edwards - Bass\nChad Taylor - Drums + Mbira + Electronics\n\n\n\n\n “This is protest music\,” insists Rob Mazurek. “It always has been. That’s why it’s called ‘Underground’ - it’s not just called that for fun. We really believe in it. The world has become so homogenized and leans so far towards the right\, and this music expresses complete freedom and lack of borders. Our music is all about the obliteration of any kind of oppression\, the tearing down of any kind of wall - freedom and equality\, both sonically and spiritually.”\n\nFor the last two decades the Chicago Underground Duo – Rob Mazurek on cornet and electronics and Chad Taylor on percussion\, electronics and mbira – have created music meant to open minds and explore alien territory. Now\, on A Night Walking Through Mirrors\, they’ve created a new Transatlantic partnership in the form of Chicago / London Underground\, inviting a pair of renowned British improvisers – pianist Alexander Hawkins and bassist John Edwards – into the creative fold. The result is an expansive sonic adventure where every unexpected note and alchemical reaction runs counter to the limited imaginations ruling social media name-calling and clannish provincialism.\n\nHawkins and Edwards are newcomers to one of Mazurek’s longest-running musical partnerships. The duo of Mazurek and Taylor stretches back more than 20 years to their work together in various iterations of the Chicago Underground Collective\, founded by Mazurek and guitarist Jeff Parker at the famed Chicago nightclub\, the Green Mill. Since spinning off from the collective in 1996\, the Chicago Underground Duo has released seven remarkably creative recordings and expanded to form Trio and Quartet incarnations with the likes of Parker and bassists Noel Kupersmith and Jason Ajemian.\n The album’s title\, A Night Walking Through Mirrors\, is an evocative fit for this exploratory set\, capturing the sense of alluring disorientation\, of sympathetic worlds upon worlds echoing into infinity. “It really felt like we would be playing and somebody would take a left turn and we’d be in another dimension\,” Mazurek recalls. “Another person would take a right turn and we’d be in yet another dimension\, but everybody was right there. It really did feel like a night spent walking through mirrors in that respect.”\n\n\n\n\nFor more information on Chicago / London Underground:\n\nwww.robmazurek.com - www.cuneiformrecords.com\n\nWHAT THE PRESS HAS SAID ABOUT CHICAGO UNDERGROUND DUO\n“Atmospheric\, exploratory music that creates worlds as it progresses.” — BBC\n\n“Mazurek is a player of great poise and elegance\, while Taylor’s deftness\, imagination and formidable technical skill make his playing a joy to listen to...from the densest meshes to the sparsest near silent passage\, each sonic cypher\, beat and note seem to be leading somewhere\, to have been made with a purpose.” — The Wire\n\n“Following the work of Mazurek and Taylor remains a near-requirement for those invested in modern creative music.” — Tiny Mix Tapes\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n[embed]https://youtu.be/YTCsfcziloQ[/embed]
