Rob Mazurek, compositions, cornet, electronics; Mauricio Takara, cavaquinho guitar, percussion, electronics; Guilherme Granado, keyboards, sampler, synthesizer, vocals; Thomas Rohrer, rabeca fiddle, soprano saxophone
One of the main protagonists of the burgeoning Chicago scene and leader of several bands, Mazurek is celebrating his anniversary in style with numerous concerts and album releases. Chicago-based composer, improviser and multi-media artist Rob Mazurek has drawn inspiration from a multitude of audio and visual styles and sources over the past three decades. Augmenting his cornet playing with computer programming, electronics and an assortment of keyboards, Mazurek's broad electro-acoustic palette defies simple categorisation. Having relocated back to Chicago after an extended stay in São Paulo, Brazil, Mazurek currently leads and composes for a wide variety of ongoing ensembles, including the Chicago Underground Duo, Exploding Star Orchestra, São Paulo Underground, Pharoah & The Underground (featuring Pharoah Sanders), and most recently Black Cube SP.
Rob recently appeared on the cover of The Wire magazine and was voted Musician of the Year by Italy's top jazz magazine, Musica Jazz! He is constantly touring the world and is known as one of today's most intrepid and sought-after sound explorers.
