Please note that this show has been rescheduled from the original date of 20 April.

Very excited to present a two-day residency from the great Chicago Underground Duo – the consistently astounding pairing of cornetist Rob Mazurek and drummer/percussionist Chad Taylor.

“For over 17 years Rob Mazurek and Chad Taylor have collaborated as the Chicago Underground Duo, a long-running partnership that has served as the core foundation for larger configurations of the group, including Trio, Quartet and Orchestra. The expansive nature of the ensemble's fluctuating personnel and the subsequent diversity of music produced has been a direct reflection of the founding members' varied interests and ensuing career paths.

Mazurek's reputation as a bold electro-acoustic sound sculptor is well established, but belies the fact that his fundamentals as a cornetist lie in traditional hard bop—a robust foundation for his increasingly adventurous approach towards composing and improvising. Taylor has also worked in scenes beyond jazz, most notably as a drummer for popular indie rock acts like Iron & Wine and Sam Prekop. Sharing a similarly probing aesthetic, Mazurek and Taylor disavow stylistic constraints, following their muse wherever it takes them.” – All About Jazz
