Hanging Hearts

HANGING HEARTS IS:Chris Weller - tenor saxophoneCole DeGenova - keyboards, synth bassQuin Kirchner - drums, percussionRooted in Chicago’s rich tradition of forward-thinking jazz and experimental music, Hanging Hearts is a progressive trio that thrives at the intersection of energy, groove, and improvisation. Led by saxophonist Chris Weller and featuring Cole DeGenova on keyboards and synth bass alongside Quin Kirchner on drums, the band channels the city’s history of musical innovation. Melding jazz with rock intensity, electronic textures, and avant-garde sensibilities, Hanging Hearts embodies the genre-blurring ethos that has long defined Chicago’s creative music scene.Whether drawing from post-bop, punk, free jazz, or electronic minimalism, Hanging Hearts delivers music that is both visceral and cerebral—music that speaks to the head, the heart, and everything in between."...intelligent and fascinating fusion for the 21st century." - Roger Farbey, All About Jazz

Read "I Dischi del 2025 secondo Ludovico Granvassu" reviewed by Ludovico Granvassu


Immortalare la bellezza e la varietà del jazz pubblicato nel 2025 attraverso una “top ten" appare tanto arduo, vano--e alla fine deludente--quanto cercare di fotografare un tramonto sulla costiera amalfitana usando una rudimentale fotocamera digitale e facendo un forellino sul copriobiettivo. Certo, una foto verrà scattata. Potrebbe persino dimostrare che eri lì, in quel momento, quando ...

Read "Ludovico Granvassu's Garden Of Jazzy Delights 2025" reviewed by Ludovico Granvassu


Capturing the breathtaking beauty, range, and diversity of jazz released in 2025 through a list of “10 best albums" feels as challenging, vain--and ultimately disappointing--as trying to photograph the Grand Canyon at sunset by placing a pinhole in front of a rudimentary digital camera's lens. Sure, a picture will be taken. It might even prove you ...

Hanging Hearts: Into a Myth

Read "Into a Myth" reviewed by Jerome Wilson


From Minneapolis, the city that gave us The Bad Plus, here is another trio with a distinctive take on mixing jazz and rock.

Hanging Hearts: Into A Myth

Read "Into A Myth" reviewed by Roger Farbey


Hanging Hearts pack quite a punch for a trio, a bass-less trio at that. Saxophonist Chris Weller takes the lead on “Return Of Saturn" with guttural tenor, after which an anthemic ensemble melody is established. There's a real sense of jazz rock here, but undoubtedly erring on the side of jazz. Cole DeGenova establishes a keyboard ...
