about

This represents the separate release of a series of interpretations of a single composition from the "Chicago Approaches" session.

This tune was an older one that had some considerable flexibility within it--seeing as I already had several compositions on the session with considerable arrangements applied, and I already had a ballad, I chose to have the band deconstruct the tune. The final phase is all of us individually playing over or with the tune, but with recording times separated by an hour or more.

While ultimately too experimentalist to make it onto the final, mostly hard-bop informed final album, it deserves presentation.

Bending Bridges
by Mary Halvorson

I saw the band that's on Bending Bridges live at the Newport Jazz Festival around 2013 and it was the only group there that made me cry. Mary is a fantastic writer and a major influence. Matt Riggen

Festival
by Matt Ulery

I'm lucky enough to know Matt and his humility doesn't belie what a deep composer he is, especially on 'Festival'. He also plays tuba and upright on this one, which sets the bar for the rest of us. Matt Riggen

Siglo XXI
by The Liberation Music Collective

I contributed ~50% of the compositions/arrangements to this record and played in the trumpet section. I believe art can expedite justice by lighting a fire under its audience, and I've seen it here. Matt Riggen
