Jason Adasiewicz - Varmint

Led by vibraphonist and composer Jason Adasiewicz [a-dah-shev-its], Varmint is Rolldown's second release. The band, active for over 5 years, features stalwarts from Chicago's vibrant jazz/new music community: Jason Adasiewicz: vibraphone, Josh Berman: cornet, Aram Shelton: alto saxophone & clarinet, Jason Roebke: bass, Frank Rosaly: drums. Their sound combines Blue Note's classic, avant-leaning '60s albums with contemporary drive, swing, energy, and attack. Varmint features six new compositions by Adasiewicz and a tune written by Andrew Hill.
