Frequency? About Three Times This Week
The whole city should be humming jazz this week, and local quartet Frequency is hitting the clubs a little harder than usual to join in the party. Made up of four musicians who primary instruments (flute, sax, drums, and bass) don't stray too far off the jazz standard, the excitement for this group really brews from each member's multi-instrumentalism that ranges from the Egyptian harp to kalimbas to the plastic bag. At home, you can check out their new self-titled album, and in person, they'll be playing the Empty Bottle tonight, leading a session on "the Art of the Solo" on Friday at the Chicago Jazz Festival, and headlining the Hot House on Sunday.
