about

All of the music on this CD was recorded live in performance on a single evening at "The Glacier Fringe," a very special studio performance series held at Glacier Recording Studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The audience was instructed to maintain their silence until the end of the evening's final number, ensuring a unique combination of outstanding sound quality and live-performance energy. Group founders Ben Siems and Jeremy Hauer both deliver some of their most inventive, passionate, and adventurous solos ever recorded.

The music is deeply rooted in the ECM tradition (Pat Metheny, Charles Lloyd, Gary Burton, et al.), but also features driving swing that echoes postbop icons like Wes Montgomery. To all of these influences, group cofounders Ben Siems (guitar) and Jeremy Hauer (drums) add eclectic elements that make this ensemble a unique voice in the world of present-day progressive jazz. CADENCE magazine notes that "Siems is a fountain of muted melody," while the Minneapolis STAR-TRIBUNE adds that "Hauer uses a drum kit in a painterly, postmodern way." Most remarkable is the deep, instinctive connection that these two musicians share, which jazz critic Clifford Allen sums up simply: "The rhythmic interplay between Siems and Hauer is at times rather astounding."

Joining Siems and Hauer for this very special evening were Dan Eikmeier on trumpet and Matt Peterson on upright bass.
