Music Menu / News Aram Shelton's Fast Citizens (12-16-2009)

Posted By on Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 3:50 PM

Aram Shelton's Fast Citizens The observant will note that the last time through the Fast Citizens flew under tenor saxophonist Keefe Jackson's moniker. Jackson's still on board, but his ceding of the marquee to alto sax man Shelton points directly to the Fast Citizens' collective aesthetic. And that, in turn, infuses the music of this talented Chicago-based sextet – and their fantastic, Shelton-penned Two Cities – with the give-and-take essential to any jazz ensemble worth a damn. Toss in Fred Lonberg-Holm on cello, Josh Berman on cornet, and a rhythm machine of Frank Rosaly (drums) and Anton Hatwich (bass), and this is like a touring All-Star team with a different compositional ace on the mound each record. A must for jazz and free music fans. With CJ Boyd and Great Architect. At 201212 (1212 10th St.)
