May 17th, 2008 - CHICAGO LUZERN EXCHANGE and DAN BLACKSBERG TRIO

Sat, 17 May 2008 00:00:00 -0400

CHICAGO LUZERN EXCHANGE
Josh Berman — cornet
Frank Rosaly — drums
Keefe Jackson — saxophone
Marc Unternährer — tuba
Chicago, IL

So this is the beast that ought not to be —— a music that is jazzlike in a number of ways but also is more or less measureless, improvised from scratch and without pre—determined harmonic or structural frameworks. Oh, yes, it’s a music that works, is expressive, and gives pleasure —— which ever you prefer or all those things at once. Also, it is both new and free – or perhaps that should be 'new' and 'free' —— in ways that touch upon the other good things mentioned above.

The ensemble on Several Lights (cornetist Josh Berman, tenor saxophonist Keefe Jackson, tubaist Marc Unternährer and drummer Frank Rosaly) calls itself the Chicago—Luzern Exchange because Unternährer, a native of the Swiss city of Luzern, spent five months in Chicago in 2002 as part of a 'sister cities' program. There, Berman (a native Chicagoan), Jackson (originally from Arkansas), and Rosaly (from Arizona but a Chicagoan since 2001) were among the musicians with whom he found common cause. The group experienced an immediate chemistry during their first meeting.

Peter Margasak writes about the CD Several Lights on Delmark Records in the Chicago Reader: „So far Several Lights is holding up as one of this year’s finest jazz records: the players deliver feather—stroke free improvisation that’s so deft and intuitive it feels almost composed, casually combining the muted tones and understated gestures of 50s west—coast jazz with thoroughly contemporary rumbles, snorts, and whinnies.
