About Exploding Star Orchestra

Exploding Star Orchestra: In 2005, cornetist Rob Mazurek was approached by The Chicago Cultural Center and the Jazz Institute to put together a group that would represent the more contemporary / avant-garde side of sound in Chicago for a concert in Millennium Park’s Frank Gehry-designed concert hall. The music was conceptualized/composed in Manaus Brazil, Fontevraud, France and Chicago, and developed over more than a dozen performances of the Orchestra before it was recorded by John McEntire at his Soma Studio in Chicago. Musicians participating in the project: Rob Mazurek – Composer, Director, Cornet, Electronics Nicole Mitchell – Flutes, Voice Jeb Bishop - Trombone Corey Wilkes - Flugelhorn Josh Berman - Cornet Matt Bauder - Bass Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone Jeff Parker - Guitar Jim Baker – Piano, ARP Synthesizer, Pianette Jason Adasiewicz - Vibraphone John McEntire – Marimba, Tubular Bells, Edits, Recording Engineer Matt Lux - Electric Bass Guitar Jason Ajemian - Acoustic Bass Mike Reed – Drums, Percussion, Saw John Herndon - Drums Bill Dixon - Trumpet
