Chicago Underground Duo

Description

Chicago Underground Duo is the long-standing collaborative project of trumpeter, multi-instrumentalist, and electronics tinkerer Rob Mazurek with drummer and percussionist Chad Taylor. Taylor has also been a driving force for bands like Jaimie Branch's 'Fly or Die' and Marshall Allen's 'Ghost Horizons.' In their duo, named after their hometown where electric blues and jazz originated, they explore the sonic possibilities of collective improvisation. Here, piccolo trumpet, live sampling, and modular synthesizers meet virtuoso-layered rhythmic textures. 'Hyperglyph' is their first album since 'Locus' released 11 years ago and the eighth from the Chicago duo, which was founded nearly thirty years ago. The three movements of Mazurek's 'Egyptian Suite' are dedicated to his mentor Bill Dixon, who passed away in 2010. Intense and moving.
