The Rempis Percussion Quartet

Chicago, the stronghold of a protean jazz, in turn poignant, free, groovy, soaring, and historic. This jazz is forever linked to the musical history of this exciting city and to the ever-changing generations of musicians.

Many important musicians have come out of the Illinois capital. Dave Rempis is one of them. A saxophonist with an incredibly fluid playing style, magnified by an absolutely natural phrasing, but also a promoter of concerts at the elastic arts, an emblematic place for international creation, he has been working for about twenty years on his art: a music entirely directed towards free improvisation, very much rooted in American history and open to the world.

In this quartet, one of his most beautiful projects, Tim Daisy and Frank Rosaly weave swirling rhythms in the background, while Ingebrigt Haker Flaten provides the saxophonist’s back-up. Music with guaranteed thrills!
