Aram Shelton Quartet (Oakland / Chicago) + DOOM RIBBONS

http://www.aramshelton.com

The Aram Shelton Quartet features Chicago-based musicians Keefe Jackson, Anton Hatwich and Marc Riordan. Related to the Fast Citizens (Delmark), of which Shelton, Jackson and Hatwich are all members, this quartet displays a musical range on their debut album "These Times" that encompasses free swing, creative improvisation, space & patience, and fiery energy.  

In the quartet, Shelton plays equal amounts of alto saxophone & clarinet, approaching each distinctly while displaying both the large and subtle differences of the instruments. Jackson contributes on tenor saxophone with a full sound and unique approach to the utilization of extended techniques.  Hatwich's bass playing grounds the music and drives it in a compelling way, while Riordan's drums serve as backbone to the rhythmic aspects and a frame to the open sections.
