Comprising a dozen of Chicago's finest improvisers, it balances the formidable sonic intensity of a mini-big band with the sensitivity of a chamber jazz group. [It] embodies the best elements of the jazz continuum...

Ready Everyday by Keefe Jackson's Fast Citizens

Keefe Jackson's Fast Citizens is a Chicago group which is exploring the boundaries between composition and improvisation. Jackson, saxophonist and principal composer, formed the group in 2003.  In 2004 they held a residency at Chicago's famous club the Hideout, during which time the group developed a formidable cohesiveness. Their music has broadened, even redefined the idea of a "cooperative" band. The group includes saxophonist Aram Shelton and cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm, who also compose for the group, and cornettist Josh Berman, drummer Frank Rosaly and bassist Anton Hatwich.
