Essential modern jazz label IARC celebrate 11 years and revisit key releases in their early catalogue. This, the labels first release, is an incredibly spare single-note-centered cornet, bass, and organ chant was recorded to tape at pint-sized Chicago bar Curio as part of a performance series that predates any notion of the label’s existence. The music unfolds glacially amongst the gentle creaks, clinks, whispers, and scuffles of the active room. Deeply rewarding, organic and minimal music that unknowingly introduced a new label to the world.
