But music can speak volumes when life requires a response to the most profound and wrenching of losses, channeling the deepest feelings, expressing the ineffable and providing emotional and spiritual succor. For Rob Mazurek, the brilliant Chicago cornetist, composer and conceptualist improviser who has honed an international coterie of collaborators, the sudden and unexpected passing of his mother Kathleen Mazurek in May of 2013 set him on a quest to honor her bountiful spirit and acknowledge her transition to another realm. Not surprisingly, he found exactly what he needed in São Paulo, Brazil. Working with five sonic explorers in Black Cube SP, a sextet that builds on the celebrated São Paulo Underground collective trio with drummer Mauricio Takara and keyboardist Guilherme Granado, he created Return the Tides: Ascension Suite and Holy Ghost, a startlingly cathartic and magisterial modern psychedelic spiritual that’s as riveting as it is ravishing. The album is Mazurek’s latest breathtaking project on Cuneiform.

Both outsiders coming to New Orleans such as Ornette Coleman and Cannonball Adderley and locally born musicians such as Alvin Battiste, Ellis Marsalis, and James Black have contributed to this music. These musicians have influenced later players like Steve Masakowski, Shannon Powell, and Johnny Vidacovich up to more current musicians like Terence Blanchard, Donald Harrison, and Christian Scott. There are multiple reasons why New Orleans modern jazz has not had a greater profile. Some of these reasons relate to the economic considerations of modern jazz. It is difficult for anyone involved in modern jazz, whether musicians, record

Now, one 412‑682‑0177 or thunderbirdcafe.net transatlantic organization is taking it one step further. The Bridge is bringing together four dozen like‑minded improvisers from Chicago and throughout France. According to its founders — three musicians with backgrounds in the social sciences — the Bridge will act as a network “for exchange, production and diffusion, to build a transatlantic bridge that will be crossed on a regular basis by French and American musicians as part of collaborative projects.” And rather than relying on the common ground of blues riffs or jazz standards, musicians under the Bridge umbrella are free improvisers, requiring an even greater level of musical perception from the participants. One such project, The Turbine! (the exclamation point is part of the name), offers an especially unique approach to instrumentation. The group consists of two bassists and two drummers. Bassist Harrison Bankhead and drummer Hamid Drake reside in Chicago, where both have straddled the city’s traditional jazz scene and the more adventurous side connected to the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM).

Chicago Tribune
Colsons return to Chicago with new sounds Adegoke Steve Colson and Iqua Colson bring their experimental music to Constellation on Saturday, Aug. 12, 2017. (Mikel Colson photo) By Howard Reich Chicago Tribune AUGUST 9, 2017, 9:25 AM early 50 years ago, a promising young pianist from New Jersey began studying music at N Northwestern University — and discovered sounds he’d never encountered before. Not so much at school, where classical music predominated, but elsewhere in Evanston and Chicago, where musical revolutions were underway. For just two years before Adegoke Steve Colson came here in 1967, a contingent of fearlessly innovative South Side artists had formed the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), a collective that was inventing radical new techniques, concepts and practices for composing and improvising music. Even closer to campus, saxophonist Fred Anderson was making his Birdhouse venue in Evanston a nexus for new music and became an early mentor to Colson. The creative ferment of that period transformed Colson, who will return to Chicago to co-lead a quintet with vocalist Iqua Colson, his wife, Saturday night at Constellation. As he prepares for this engagement, memories of those early days come flooding back. “I remember I saw a flyer for Fred Anderson, because he lived there in Evanston … and we could go by and join his band,” says pianist Colson, who often sat in with the singular improviser. “When I started playing with guys in the AACM. Sometimes (bassist) Fred Hopkins would show up, (drummer) Steve McCall would show up,” adds Colson, who formed a jazz band with fellow student Chico Freeman.
