From the burgeoning Chicago “new music” scene cornetist Josh Berman, tenor saxophonist Keefe Jackson, and drummer Frank Rosaly and, from Switzerland, tuba virtuoso Mark Unternahrer--collectively known as Chicago Luzerne Exchange---meet the challenge of free form playing within a jazz framework. Howard Reich of the Chicago Tribune has referred to "the seemingly telepathic rapport" that Berman and Jackson enjoy -- adding that "they respond to each other with extraordinary alacrity and poise." The quicksilver Rosaly is a listening, compositional-minded drummer, and Unternnahrer handles his basso instrument with similar sensitivity and, at times, a parodoxical lightfootedness.

Reviews

Jazz Review - Roger Thomas

This particular CD certainly merits attention. This music still remembers its roots in jazz, requires both conventional and unconventional virtuosity on conventional instruments. The three hornists are all highly articulate and empathetic players.
