This working trio finds journeyman Chicago saxophonist Dave Rempis alongside two of the brightest talents in a younger generation of improvising musicians. Bassist Brandon Lopez is a musician whose virtuosity knows no bounds, currently one of the most in-demand bassists on the New York jazz and improvised music scene. Regular working partners include Nate Wooley, Gerald Cleaver, Ingrid Laubrock, Okkyung Lee, Tyshawn Sorey, and Ashley Fure. Percussionist Ryan Packard counters that depth with his own breadth of interests, working in contemporary classical ensembles, indie rock bands, and jazz groups alike around Chicago, not to mention his doubling abilities on electronics. His regular collaborations include work with Dal Niente Ensemble, Fonema Consort, MOCREP, ZRL, Skeletons, and Wei Zhongle. These two together provide a formidable rhythm section that can veer from hard-driving grooves to luscious soundscapes with total ease.
