| Led by vibraphonist and composer Jason Adasiewicz [a-dah-shev-its], Varmint is Rolldown's second release. The band, active for over 5 years, features stalwarts from Chicago's vibrant jazz/new music community. Their sound combines Blue Note's classic, avant-leaning '60s albums with contemporary drive, swing, energy, and attack. Varmint features six new compositions by Adasiewicz and a tune written by Andrew Hill. One of the most important influences on Jason's playing and composing are the musicians he plays with in the Chicago scene. The players' fearless presences materialize as collaborative voices rather than sidemen. For the past 10 years, Josh Berman has played with Adasiewicz and remains a key voice in his compositions. The two have struggled together and supported each other's aspirations and maturation as musicians. Jason began playing with Aram Shelton and Jason Roebke in 2001 in Shelton's group, Arrive. Jason and Frank Rosaly's relationship began with the birth of Rolldown. Every player is deeply rooted in jazz tradition, and all are at the mercy of the memory of growing up in the 80s. |
