THIS BRINGS US TO 2
This Brings Us To, Volumes I & II are the result of an<br>eight-year gestation period during which Threadgill<br>and his band Zooid have fine-tuned his unique system<br>of improvisation in a group setting. The compositions<br>provide the construct for open dialogue within the group<br>while encouraging the musicians to seek a new way to<br>improvise, away from a reliance on chords or scales or<br>any of the timeworn clichés of certain free jazz. In the<br>music, Threadgill creates structures in his compositions<br>that provide platforms for the musicians to interact in a<br>way that is constantly challenging, and allows for personal<br>exploration. Despite its intricacy, his music always<br>maintains a grooving, funky vibe, one of the reasons why<br>Threadgill has remained one of the most popular of the<br>cutting-edge jazz musicians of the last 40 years.
