芝加哥 Free Jazz 三重奏樂團 Nick Mazzarella Trio 的第三張專輯，七首歌曲探索了大自然、宇宙結構、時間與回憶，在這些異質的層面中實驗不同的聲音質感與情緒。
Nick Mazzarella is a singular voice in a late generation of free jazz formalists. The 31-year-old devotee of the alto saxophone spends days in a shop repairing woodwinds and nights playing gigs at diverse venues across the Chicago jazz and improvised music scene. In less than a decade, working with the likes of Rob Mazurek, Dana Hall, Ken Vandermark and The Eternals, he has quickly established himself as a vital contributor to the city s creative music lineage. Far from just a sideman, Mazzarella works primarily as a leader, composing prolifically for an array of ensembles that express his conceptual versatility and showcase his distinctly robust alto sound.
The most developed of Mazzarella s many active projects is his trio with bassist Anton Hatwich and drummer Frank Rosaly. Over 7 years of persistent activity, the Nick Mazzarella Trio has built an exceptional rapport and achieved near-telepathic interplay in performance.
Ultraviolet, the band s third album, is a suite composed by Mazzarella for a July 2012 residency at Curio in downtown Chicago. All seven pieces were conceived simultaneously and explore themes of nature, universal structure, time and memory. The program they form encompasses a variety of textures and moods, melodic invention and contexts for improvisation. In the summer of 2014, Mazzarella enlisted engineer Brian Sulpizio to capture the music at the culmination of 2 years of evolution and growth.
