• Redefining the collective concept in an ensemble, Two Cities is the follow up to the 2006 release Ready Everyday (Delmark 571). The Fast Citizens have a rotating leader chair. This time Aram Shelton has taken the reins as main composer, focusing on orchestration and structural variety to present a stylistically diverse album that includes hard swing, lush ballads, high-energy free improvisation, modern composition and Sun-Ra-inspired grooves.

• Aram Shelton, alto saxophone, clarinet; Keefe Jackson, tenor saxophone, bass clarinet; Josh Berman, cornet; Fred Lonberg-Holm, cello; Anton Hatwich, bass; and Frank Rosaly, drums. Nine original compositions

Jazz Journal - Derek Ansell

Free, spontaneous improvisation is never easy but this group do go a long way towards making it sound that way.
