Influential band leader from Chicago presents an evocative hybrid of music, spoken word and video. 'With its historical depth and vigorous performance, the music satisfies on its own terms' (Downbeat).

For Flesh & Bone, Mike Reed composes deeply personal and hopeful music in which he responds to social unrest, racism and resurgent nationalism. On the eponymous album, the Chicago-based musician recollects harrowing memories of a confrontation with extreme right protesters during a train journey through Eastern Europe with his band. For this project this same four-piece band is expanded with a cornet player and a bass clarinet player. Poet and performer Marvin Tate plays an important role on the album as well as on stage, where impressive stories are combined with music and moving images.

Lineup:
Greg Ward II - alto saxophone
Tim Haldeman - tenor saxophone
Jason Roebke - bass
Mike Reed - drums
Ben Lamar Gay - cornet
Jason Stein - bass clarinet
Marvin Tate - words
Kim Alpert - video
