Musician

Saxophonist, improviser, and composer Dave Rempis has been an integral part of the thriving Chicago jazz and improvised music scene since 1997. With a background in ethnomusicology and African studies at Northwestern University, including a year spent at the University of Ghana, Rempis burst onto the creative music scene at the age of 22 when he was asked to join the now-legendary Chicago jazz outfit The Vandermark Five. This opportunity catapulted him to notoriety as he began to tour regularly throughout the US and Europe, an active schedule that he still maintains to the present day. At the same time, Rempis began to develop the many Chicago-based groups for which he’s currently known, including The Rempis Percussion Quartet, The Engines, Ballister, Rempis/Abrams/Ra, Wheelhouse, Triage, The Rempis/Rosaly Duo, and The Rempis/Daisy Duo

Read "The Walls Of The Temple Are Made Of Sound" reviewed by Mark Corroto

October 30, 2026

Both Chicago architecture and Chicago jazz inspire images of beefy, mammoth structures. The city's skyscrapers, bridges and industrial-strength rhythms seem built to withstand even the harshest winter winds, the kind vocalist Lou Rawls dubbed “the hawk." The quartet of saxophonist Dave Rempis, pianist Jim Baker, bassist Joshua Abrams and drummer Avreeayl Ra trades in similarly brawny ...
