Kuzu - Dave Rempis Trio (Chicago)

KUZU is a hard-charging but patient trio that came together in the fall of 2017, after saxophonist Dave Rempis, a stalwart of the Chicago improvised music scene, worked with both Tashi Dorji (guitar) and Tyler Damon (drums) individually as part of a lengthy solo tour of the U.S. that he undertook in the spring of that year. Dorji and Damons work as a guitar/percussion duo has become well-known, a highly refined and specific language developed through relentless touring and recording over the last few years, with a sound that straddles improvised music, rock, and any number of as-yet-undefined territories. These two provide an incredibly fresh take on the possibilities inherent to spontaneous composition. Superimposing Rempis into this mix was a logical next step after the relationships theyd forged individually.

The trios debut record Hiljaisuus (silence in Finnish) was released on LP by the well-known label Astral Spirits in summer 2018, and on cd by Aerophonic Records in January 2019. The band released the limited edition cassette Lift To Drag in the Fall of 2019, and their newest record Purple Dark Opal is now available at Aerophonic Records!!
