To Undertake My Corners Open

Chairmaster

This Brings Us To is the result of an eight-year gestation period, during which Henry Threadgill and his band Zooid fine-tuned his unique system of improvisation in a group setting. The compositions provide the construct for open dialogue within the group while encouraging the musicians to seek a new way to improvise, away from a reliance on chords or scales or any of the timeworn clichés of certain “free” jazz.

“Threadgill’s importance to modern jazz cannot be denied, as there are few composers who possess such a distinguishable methodology to music in general … It is a joy to delve into the band’s multidirectional evolutionary processes.” — All About Jazz

“Threadgill is a powerful composer and uses the brute force of instrumentation to turn his music in different directions. And each time he changes direction, he retains the best ideas of his last band.” — New York Times

“Slinky, utterly distinctive, and disarmingly engaging.” — The New Yorker
