I focused this mix around rhythm and space. Oftentimes when people talk about rhythm, they’re talking about the attacks or sound that fill up otherwise empty space. Alternatively, when people talk about space, they usually focus on the silence in a space that would otherwise be noisy. I’d like to make the case that rhythm and space are the same, and rhythm can be built around silence, while space can be built around density. From the opening sounds of Susie Ibarra’s drums, it’s up to the listener to parse together how she sets the space. Drummers in particular are a conceptual model for how attacks can be individually tuned and quickly maneuvered to manipulate space. Later in the mix, we hear elusive guitarist and songwriter Jandek in trio format. Jandek utilizes great rhythms in his singing, his lines often fall where you least expect them. That surprise element is what draws us in as listeners, when we feel for a landing place that isn’t there, or expect a space that’s suddenly filled. The way his guitar pulls with the trio adds another layer to the manipulation of expectation, you can feel him cause friction in a somewhat sparse space, leading to a sound that is bare yet tense. The foil to this would be Mamadou-Diabate's music, which I challenge listeners to think of in terms of space. With something that’s seemingly so dense and cyclical, is there space? I hear it as something that breathes formally rather than rhythmically, things come in and out, back and forth, and that’s where the spatial aspect comes into play. I chose to end this mix with Sun Ra, someone who pushed his existence in a spatial sense by distancing himself from the planet he performed on. There’s a beautiful moment in the end of this recording with some repeated notes rising over a vocal call and an abstracted horn solo. When all these elements combine, the rhythm seems to hold openness in tandem with intense narrative expression.

This mix was so much fun to put together, and I feel really outlines the common threads through a lot of my favorite aesthetics that make up what I feel is so important to the Chicago scene(s) and its histor(y/ies). One thing I have loved about Chicago since even before I moved here, is the natural sense of this music feeling so earthy, organic, and natural, as well as ethereal, otherworldly, and alien at once. I feel that in many other historic scenes, one end of this dichotomy might take precedence over the other, but only here in Chicago do I get a beautiful sense of balance and simultaneity in this respect. The Fred Anderson selections here follow a familiar “jazz” format in some ways, but the way everyone plays is so unique, so fresh, and so engaging to me.

The tunes and lineup are not credited on these Fred Anderson tapes, but I do wonder, is this one of the earliest recordings we have of Hamid Drake? If my quick google research is accurate, this is the same year Fred Anderson put out his first record “Another Place” with Hamid on drums at age 23. There’s a drum beat about a minute and a half into this first track that I associate with his kind of approach, and I feel it really encapsulates this era and scene in a way. The rubato drumming is so free flowing, so melodic, and so sonically expressive, AND when the time comes to play a groove, the pocket is so perfectly heavy and light. Hamid and a few other notable Chicago drummers have this way of playing a dance groove (whether it’s slow or mid tempo swing, or an R&B backbeat) with such a beautifully heavy open-ended bounce that both anchors the rhythm of the improvisation, while leaving the door open to play things against the beat without it sounding like a conflict of interest. Both grounded and ethereal at once.

One thing I love about the archive is, especially in the Malachi Ritscher collection, the great musicians coming in from out of town to play for Chicagoans. Here I’ve included some solo Derek Bailey music as well as a trio including Ikue Mori, Bill Frisell, and Jim Staley. I think about the ways that that music was recycled through our artistic ecosystems, what people must have thought about it, who would have come out to see it, what it inspired. I love hearing the little fragments of conversations before the music starts in these recordings, it really makes me feel so connected to these people 40 or 50 years ago doing the exact same things that my friends and I do now.

Thanks so much to James and everyone ESS for having me put this together, it was really my pleasure :)
