Chicago Underground Duo: Boca Negra

Read "Boca Negra" reviewed by Chris May

by Chris May

Drummer Chad Taylor's and cornetist Rob Mazurek's intention with Boca Negra is to present the listener with “an emotional experience that transcends the idea of genre or label." The principle of inclusiveness starts with the recording location, Sao Paulo in Brazil, and continues through to the album's packaging: the cover shot was taken on the shore ...

Chicago Underground Duo: Two Voices, One Sound

Read "Chicago Underground Duo: Two Voices, One Sound" reviewed by Paul Olson

Chicago Underground Duo: In Praise of Shadows

Read "In Praise of Shadows" reviewed by Nathan Haselby

by Nathan Haselby

In Praise of Shadows, the fourth release by the Chicago Underground Duo, focuses on continuing experiments in sense confusion within a single relationship: music and light. As with previous albums, cornetist Rob Mazurek and drummer Chad Taylor spend considerable time on piano and vibes respectively, creating a surprisingly full sound that is matched by a wide ...
