Haley Fohr’s Circuit des Yeux

bandcampDOTcircuitDesYeux:

Haley Fohr’s music strikes a unique balance between the personal and universal. As Circuit des Yeux she creates music that embodies the complexity of human emotions, juxtaposing tenderness and grief, ecstasy and horror, using sounds as representations of the emotional spectrum that we all experience. Fohr’s striking voice, an impassioned baritone, is the music’s centerpiece and guiding force. On In Plain Speech, Fohr is joined by some of the most progressive musicians in the Chicago music community; Cooper Crain (Cave, Bitchin Bajas), Whitney Johnson (Verma), Rob Frye (Bitchin Bajas), Adam Luksetich (Little Scream), and Kathleen Baird (Spires That In The Sunset Rise). Fohr cements her reputation as a fearless songwriter and inventive arranger with this stirring collection of songs that are both gorgeous and emotionally potent.

ISSUE presents Nilssen-Love's 11-piece big band Large Unit at Brooklyn's First Unitarian Church on June 13th, 2015.

Norwegian drummer Paal Nilssen-Love has established himself on the international scene as a powerful drummer with high energy and creativity. In 2002 he was "Artist in Residence" at Molde International Jazz Festival, a title Chick Corea and Pat Metheny held in previous years. After 7 days and 9 concerts at the festival, Down Beat stated, "His week at Molde proved a revelation: Nilssen-Love is one of the most innovative, dynamic and versatile drummers in jazz." Among many groups and ensembles Nilssen-Love performs with Mats Gustafsson and Ingebrigt Håker Flaten in the trio The Thing, with the Scandinavian free jazz supergroup Atomic, and with Peter Brötzmann’s Chicago Tentet.
