Document Chicago

"...a refreshing and essential listen for anyone interested in a sound that could only come from one city." - All About Jazz

Document Chicago: New Jazz and Improvisation is a compilation that celebrates the new generation of musicians working in the diverse Chicago improvised music scene, as well as the forthcoming Document Chicago Series that will record them.
