SUMMARY:JACK MACKLIN TRIO - modern jazz

His experience working with admired musicians from many different traditions has made him an interactive\, and versatile musician who is finding his distinct musical voice. \n​Macklin returned to Chicago after two years of performing full-time in Nashville\, TN.

SUMMARY:OUTER LIMITS DUO - Juli Wood & Kim Zick - album release
DESCRIPTION:Drummer Kim Zick and saxophonist Juli Wood have performed together over the years in many configurations. As the Outer Limits Duo\, the MRS. FUN drummer and onetime R&B Cadets saxophonist (living now in Chicago) ventures to places explored by jazz avant-gardists such as Archie Schepp and Max Roach in a relentless sonic assault. \nTheir new album\, Carnival of Souls\, was recorded at Milwaukee’s DV Studio with Zick’s partner in MRS. FUN\, Connie Grauer\, producing. Carnival of Souls includes nine live improvisations by Zick and Wood plus renditions of three Grauer compositions\, including “Judy\,” “Cecil’s Waterfowl Ranch” and the melodically gorgeous “Zoila\,” which suggests something Henry Mancini might have written for a film that audiences never saw.
