Paul Wertico at Evanston SPACE
Prominent session drummer and associate professor of jazz studies at Roosevelt University, Chicago’s Paul Wertico shares the jazz-friendly acoustics at SPACE with the Mid-East/Mid-West Alliance to celebrate the release of its new record, Impressions Of A City, an improvised session of haunting jazz-rock. Between the jungly atmosphere of “What Should I Wear Today” and the quirky shredding within “Word Salad”—where do jazzbos get there song titles?—Wertico and friends include enough elements to please both picky jazz purists and rock fans alike, mixing hardcore distortion on the axe with synths, saxes, and the ambient soundscape. So pretty standard stuff, as far as insane avant-garde recording sessions with legendary fusion-jazz drummers go.
