"The music, attributed to all four members is neat, concise and engagingly hip." Mark Corroto, All About Jazz
Like many projects in Chicago, KLANG developed because of a gig: the chance to put a group together for a now defunct improvised music series in January of 2006. I took that opportunity to call upon some musicians I highly esteemed but had not had the fortune to work with previously and also to indulge in a hint of abstracted nostalgia by mixing vibes and clarinet, one of the classic combinations of swing and pre-bop era jazz. Also on my mind was paying homage to one of my heroes by composing tunes for KLANG that recalled the small group writing of the late Jimmy Giuffre’s great 1950’s ensembles, music often neglected for his later (and equally great!) trio recordings. Many of the initial tunes for KLANG''s book (No Milk, G.F.O.P., China Black, Klang) are studies in different aspects of “Giuffreisms” and named after my penchant for tea drinking. And Chicago, as always, has proven fertile ground for this group to try out new material and find a voice. And so, like a multifaceted Oolong . . . the voice of KLANG.
James Falzone
