Twin Talk (Chicago jazz) @ HACkS Sound Series
March 26 @ 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Since forming in 2012, saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi, bassist-singer Katie Ernst, and drummer Andrew Green have spent their time on the band stage together making their music elastic, spontaneous, and open, embracing new inspirations without stifling the improvisational heart of their work. While all three musicians are active members in Chicago’s bustling jazz community, each playing in numerous working bands, they’ve found a true collective voice as Twin Talk. They use live performances as opportunities to stretch—expanding on composed material and ditching set lists in favor of calling tunes on the fly.
On their latest album Twin Talk Live, the trio blur the boundaries between near-telepathic collective improvisation and highly composed songs, resulting in a studio album with all the viscerality of their live shows. Twin Talk Live is out now on Shifting Paradigm Records.
“…free-improvisation aesthetic at its core…the tunes on Twin Talk Live are so dreamily melodic and hummable that they veer into the art-pop realm.” – Chicago Reader
