Chicago saxophonist/composer Geof Bradfield's Delmark Records debut brings together nine individual and vital artists from the Chicago and New York jazz scenes in Bradfield's new multi-movement work Yes, and. . . Music for Nine Improvisers. Howard Reich wrote in the Chicago Tribune of the premier, 'The music ranges from carefully scored passages for reeds and horns to more spontaneous interchanges among various subsets of players. In both scenarios, the music finds continuity in the tonal glow of the ensemble playing, the subtlety of instrumental voicing, and the harmonic sophistication of everything these musicians have to offer.'
