Album Description

Chicago has justly earned its high esteem amongst jazz & creative music aficionados. The city that fostered the talents of the AACM, Sun Ra, Fred Anderson, and many more has been kept alive by figures such as Ken Vandermark, Dave Rempis, Michael Zerang and many more. Some of the city's brightest lights appear on the new album Chicago Edge Ensemble, led by former Chicago resident, guitarist Dan Phillips. Phillips couldn't have picked a more pure cast of musicians to capture and pay tribute to the city he loves - legends Mars Williams (saxophone), Hamid Drake (drums), Jeb Bishop (trombone), and Krysztof Pabian (bass) all contribute in making Chicago Edge Ensemble's Decaying Orbit a rather memorable disc; one ripe with the urgent music which has come to characterize the city's identity. “Chicago Edge Ensemble is an all terrain vehicle, a quintet equally capable of negotiating the bumpy-smooth contours of swinging post bop, the banked hairpin turns of fusion funk, the fog and ether AACM-style intrigue and the tumultuous thicket that awaits if you gleefully careen off the road.” Review of Chicago Edge Ensemble Decaying Orbit Jazz Times 2017
