Chicago Underground Duo
The Chicago Underground Duo formed in 1997 as an organic offshoot of the larger Chicago Underground Collective. The Duo consists of Rob Mazurek (cornet, electronics, piano) and Chad Taylor (percussion, electronics, vibes, mbira, guitar). Both stalwarts of the Chicago Jazz scene, their performances are dually based on notated compositions composed by both artists and on pure improvisation.
Mazurek and Taylor have released five CDs together, their most recent release being Boca Negra (Thrill Jockey, 2010). They have toured extensively in the U.S, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Brazil and are considered to be the most musically adventurous performers of the Chicago Underground incarnations.
