Matt Piet Trio - Live in Chicago (2018)


Pianist Matt Piet is joined by other notable rising Chicago improvisers Charlie Kirchen on bass and Julian Kirchner on drums. 

This compilation of three albums tracks the live, in-performance progress of three improvising musicians over six months: from autumn of 2016 to spring of 2017. 

"Live In Chicago" chronicles: 
three up-and-coming young improvisers 
in their first three live performances together as a trio 
at three of Chicago's most essential outlets for improvised music. 

"Matt Piet has so much to say and this [trio] becomes the perfect vehicle for it." - Philip Coombs, Free Jazz Collective
