2/17 - The Milwaukee Freejazz Society Presents "WRACK" - 9pm @ The Sugar Maple.
Oboist Kyle Bruckmann founded the project in Chicago in 2002, enlisting trombonist Jeb Bishop, percussionist Tim Daisy, bassist Kurt Johnson, and violist Jen Clare Paulson.
Their debut record on Red Toucan demonstrated the band's "ability to combine turned-up flame with clear-headed attention to texture and space" and was hailed as "a document of exciting new directions from some of Chicago's best players." (Dusted magazine)
