About the Rob Clearfield Quintet: This band was formed in the fall of 2010 for a performance at the Chicago Cultural Center. As the band has continued from there, I've tried to engage as a composer with the jazz tradition more directly than in past projects, without abandoning my rock roots. Some pieces are heavily composed, others very improvisational, but thanks to the musicians I'm fortunate enough to work with, we were able to sustain a consistent and focused group sound across these eight diverse compositions. This group features four of my favorite musicians in Chicago: Scott Burns (Chicago Jazz Orchestra), John Kregor (Patricia Barber, Grazyna Auguscik), Patrick Mulcahy (District 97) and Eric Montzka (Patricia Barber). This is our debut recording. Press from previous recordings and performances: \".a kind of music that's as private and as expressive as possible. It's a sound almost impossible to classify, where intelligence and inspiration, mediated by advanced technique, yield a music imbued with a kind of alchemy.\" -Jack Walton, South Bend Tribune \".one of the city's most enjoyably unpredictable players.\" -Neil Tesser, The Examiner \"Every so often there's a new talent who sounds like bottled lightning.\" -Lou Carlozo, Christian Century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41016135549025,"sku":"0888174180120","price":8.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/orig_842424_855096_jpg.jpg?v=1707524658","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0888174180120-the-long-and-short-of-it","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
