Bounderies were pushed today.
Credit goes to the Chicago Underground Duo.
The 2000 "Synesthesia" album is described as futuristic fusion on the Wikipedia page.
I have to admit that it would suit perfectly as the soundtrack for a Star Trek episode.
And the Star Trek boys and girls might even be up to it as I watched Star Trek Strange New World's "Subspace Rhapsody" the other day. Sort of a musical episode that had the interstellar crew singing and dancing. Oh, how nice it would be for them to enter the Chicago Underground Quadrant...
OK, I'm getting carried away here, but I do understand why Wiki calls it futuristic fusion.
It sounds great!!
the opening track: 'Blue Sparks from Her, and the Scent of Lightning' :
But there also was "Slon", the 2004 album where the duo expanded into a trio.
Rob Mazurek on cornet, Chad Taylor on drums, plus Noel Kupersmith on bass.
Including electronics and ambient noises, "Slon" is another fine improvised jazz album.
Here's 'Protest', which may be a reference to their 2003 European No War Tour.
Love the energy.
And then there was the 2010 "Boca Negra" release. By the Mazurek / Taylor duo.
Quite intense and a nice finale of a trio of Chicago Underground albums...
Here's 'Spy On The Floor', superbly constructed...
