Nr. 8 of Best Jazz Albums 2025 of New York Times: Hyperglyph by Chicago Underground Duo !!

Much of the borderless spirit emanating from the vital Chicago label International Anthem was already evident a quarter century back in the early work of this tandem, which has expanded into various larger groups while always orbiting around the multi-instrumentalists Rob Mazurek and Chad Taylor. On their first album as a two-piece in 11 years — and, aptly, their International Anthem debut — they reassert their folk-rooted futurism, setting free-form trumpet-drums duets alongside pulsing electroacoustic grooves and blissful thumb-piano interludes, imbuing it all with surreal wonder.

 

Artists:

• Chad Taylor - Drums
• Rob Maruzek - Trompet
