Your Guide to the Local Jazz Scene
“This music invited a different set of assumptions and insights to be discovered, manifested, and woven into my band’s sound. We’ve had to explore an organic rhythmic approach not tied to conventional meters or recognizable jazz grooves. Achieved through several years of dedicated collective studying, the result is music that is intuitive but also, seductively puzzling. It is like re-discovering musical intuition, that is what makes listening to this band so exciting. We have performed within Chicago and several other venues in the Midwest, having a very positive reception from the audience. Our first album “Ephemeral Certainties” was selected in NPR Jazz Critics Best of 2019, within the debut category. We had our first tours scheduled for this past 2020 to the Midwest area as well as to Mexico, however, both were postponed due to COVID. Nowadays we are working on our next Album titled Life & Umbrella.” – Javier Red
