Paul Giallorenzo / Gitgo - Force Majeure

GitGO (short for Get in to Go Out) is pianist/composer Paul Giallorenzo's exploration of improvisation within composition, anchored in jazz traditions of time, form and melody, with a forward-thinking sensibility of harmony & texture. They debuted at the 2010 Chicago Jazz Festival and this is their first album for Delmark. The musicians are a cross section of creative Chicago: Mars Williams (NRG Ensemble, Psychedic Furs, Extraordinary Popular Delusions), Jeb Bishop (Vandermark 5, Peter Br"tzmann Chicago Tentet, Rob Mazurek's Exploding Star Orchestra), Anton Hatwich (Fast Citizens, Kyle Bruckmann's Wrack, Nick Mazzarella Trio), and Quin Kirchner (NOMO, Wild Belle, Blink.)
