Sticks and Stones
Featuring Chicago jazz mainstays Matana Roberts, Joshua Abrams, and Chad Taylor, Sticks & Stones is a collective that first came together as members of the Sunday-night house band at the Velvet Lounge. They grew a substantial following in the Windy City and recorded their eponymous debut in 2002 for 482 Music. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide[more]
