Make no mistake, Austin *does* have an avant-jazz/improv music scene that’s just not as well known outside of town. With more records like ‘Tau Ceti’ from Lisa Cameron, Tom Carter and Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, that should all change.
Here is the world premiere of “Trapeze / Maku (Live)” by Chicago-based free-form masters Mako Sica with Hamid Drake.
Here is the streaming premiere of “Batida” by the re-formed Chicago Underground Quartet.

Charles Rumback’s ‘Cadillac Turns’ has all the energy and capriciousness of a free-jazz blowing session but still retains a strong sense of melody.
With the unusual structure of the electro-acoustic trio Hearts & MInds come opportunities to implement ideas you couldn’t really pull off in a ‘normal’ trio setting. ‘Electroradiance’ adroitly exploits those opportunities.
The way a chamber string trio is being used by the Brandon Seabrook Trio for ‘Convulsionaries’ is bonafide wack. It’s akin to G.G. Allin hosting ‘Masterpiece Theater.’
Matthew Lux’s debut ‘Contra/Fact’ contains a good deal of delightful surprises but given his credentials, such surprises are to be expected.
