Jason Adasiewicz
6:00-6:45 pm
Preston Bradley Hall
6-6:45pm – Jason Adasiewicz
Hands down the most powerfully original vibraphonist on the improvised music beat, Chicago’s Jason Adasiewicz has separated himself from the pack with his hard-hitting yet lyrical approach, which opens up whole new routes of improvisation with its sustaining sounds and textures. Known for his Sun Rooms trio and collaborations with the late German saxophonist Peter Brotzmann, Adasiewicz will perform solo tonight in tribute to AACM great Roscoe Mitchell. He honors that great artist on his recent album, “Roscoe Village: The Music of Roscoe Mitchell,” which includes tunes Mitchell wrote for the Art Ensemble of Chicago. It will be great to hear Adasiewicz in the capacious setting of Preston Bradley Hall.

Jason Adasiewicz’s Sun Rooms – Spacer
Delmark 2012 (2011)
Sun Rooms is Jason Adasiewicz’s three year old trio featuring Jason (vibraphone), Mike Reed (drums) and Nate McBride (bass). Their debut record Sun Rooms (Delmark 593) was named by the New York Times (Ben Ratliff) as one of the Top 10 Pop and Jazz Records of 2010. Spacer was written in the winter of 2011 and slowly shaped through a month long residency at a north side Chicago bar, The Whistler. Engineered by Griffin Rodriguez, Spacerdocuments 8 new tunes by Adasiewicz, one from McBride, and one from Dutch cornetist Eric Boeren.
Description
Jason Adasiewicz’s Sun Rooms – From The Region
Delmark 5017 (2014)
From The Region documents Jason Adasiewicz’s Sun Rooms as they explore the sparse territory of the vibraphone trio. On their third record, the Chicago-based collective navigates a new batch of tunes written by Adasiewicz, called “one of the great vibraphonists of our time” by critic Kevin Whitehead. Long time collaborator and drummer Mike Reed (People, Places and Things, Living by Lanterns) also contributed a tune for the new record. In this new venture, renowned bassist Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten (The Thing, Atomic) fills large shoes after the bittersweet departure of Nate McBride. International tours have kept the group pushing the boundaries of the Chicago sound, embodying: “We are all drummers and we all want to swing.”
