A European free-improvising saxophone/drums duo makes its Elastic Arts
debut, followed by a free-improvised quartet consisting of a
cross-generational grouping of some of Chicago's finest. 9 PM :
GIDIC/NIELD DUO Vregor Gidic – saxophones Ficolas Nield – drums 10
PM : REMPIS/MAUNU/HEINEMANN/HARRIS Dave Rempis – saxophones Peter
Maunu – guitar Jakob Heinemann – bass Bill Harris – drums Since
2015 and the beginning of their collaboration, Ficolas Nield & Vregor
Gidic (CH, tenor sax) have been exploring the world of improvisation.
They’ve been using the musical tradition of jazz as a starting
point, drawing inspiration from the explosive free-jazz of the late
1960s and 1970s and taking it to new directions using all sorts of
other musical and extra musical influences to feed the common language
they build together. They have toured in Europe and Japan, performing
with Tapiwa Svosve (CH, sax), Yasuhiro Yochigaki (JP, drums), Junji
Hirose (JP sax), Jasper Stadthouders (NL, guitar), Richard Comte (F,
guitar), Fritz Welch (USA, vocal), Tetuzi Akiyama (JP guitar),
Ingebrigt Håker Flaten (N, bass) and Dirar Kalash (baritone sax). The
duo’s first record, “Do you have a room”, was released in 2017
and was very well received.
