The Michael Eaton Quartet is heading to the Midwest for an early 2015 tour.  They’ll visit the High-Hat in Chicago, so come check out the music of Individuation live, and pick up a copy of the disc.

Michael is a Brooklyn-based saxophonst, composer, and educator.  As a saxophonist and improvising artist, his professonal career to date has spanned a variety of idioms, encompassing jazz, free improvised music, soul, rock, western classical, funk, reggae, rockabilly, marching bands, and beyond. He embraces a progressive and holistic vision of jazz, cognizant of its rich historical origins and development, but reaches for a personal outlook with an eye towards future possibilities.

Michael’s 2014 debut album on Destiny Records, Individuation, highlights his most recent music performed by his New York quartet along with trumpeter Jon Crowley.   Individuation integrates angular themes and propulsive modern jazz with intricately rhythmic minimalistic vamps, freebop, Cageian prepared piano, and multi-layered open platforms.  The band is joined on several cuts by a very special guest, master musician and saxophonist David Liebman.

Cover starts at 8:30, show starts at 9pm.  $10 cover.  No reservations.
