about

This is the first album of The Chicago Plan.
A quartet co-lead by Steve Swell and Gebhard Ullmann.

Reviews:
'Swell and Ullmann's protean expressionism, coupled with Lonberg-Holm's bold electro-acoustic palette and Zerang's kaleidoscopic percussion yield a multi-hued range of colors on The Chicago Plan demonstrating the limitless stylistic diversity of these global improvisers.'
(Troy Collins, Point of Departure)

'Ullmann and Swell have developed a challenging rapport over the years.  Their moments of collective improvisation -- whether in rhythmic counterpoint or unison fly overs – would strain even the most practiced chops. That they do it for fun is our delight.
(Lazaro Vega Jazz Director, Blue Lake Public Radio)

'The Chicago Plan is an excellent combination with four like-minded musical adventurers and improvisers.'
(Robert Iannapollo, The New York City Jazz Record)
