Josh Berman: cornet Fred Lonberg-Holm: cello Anton Hatwich: bass Frank Rosaly: drums Keefe Jackson is a saxophonist / clarinetist / composer. He arrived in Chicago from his native Fayetteville, Arkansas in 2001. He has performed with Tim Daisy, Dave Rempis, Jeb Bishop, Jason Roebke, Guillermo Gregorio, Jim Baker, Mike Reed, Tatsuya Nakatani, and Swiss musicians Marc Unternahrer and Thomas Mejer, among many others. He is a member of the Lucky 7s, the 774th Street Quartet, the Chicago Luzern Exchange, and the Tim Daisy Festival Quartet. He leads his own large group Keefe Jackson’s Project Project along with the Fast Citizens, ensembles featured in various recordings on Delmark Records and Bloody Murder Records. Fast Citizens is a Chicago group that explores the boundaries between composition and improvisation. Saxophonist Keefe Jackson is the principle composer for the group which formed in 2003. In 2004 they held a residency at Chicago’s Hideout during which time the group developed its formidable cohesiveness. The group includes celebrated cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm (Vandermark Five, Joe McPhee, Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet) who also composes for the group, cornettist Josh Berman (Chicago Luzern Exchange and Rob Mazurek’s Exploding Star Orchestra), drummer Frank Rosaly (Rob Mazurek’s Mandarin Movie) and bassist Anton Hatwich (the Rempis Percussion Quartet, Wrack) “Ready Everyday” is their first recording and was released by Delmark Records in October 2006. "Fast Citizens synthesize a wide range of influences - Mingus and Sun Ra foremost among them - characterized by a spiritual quest that is often ecstatic, and a structural coherence that is all the more impressive for seeming to result from a quasi-telepathic interaction."  This concert is brought to you by the Alternating Currents Live series,
broadcast on WMSE (91.7) FM, Milwaukee.
