Resavoir – Resavoir

Description

The Chicago trumpeter with hip-hop and indie-rock bona fides steps out as a bandleader, shepherding 18 musicians across a complex, soulful album that celebrates interconnectedness. Pitchfork

As the vehicle for trumpeter Will Miller, Resavoir has morphed from its beginnings as an in-bedroom project to a full-scale band with endless musical possibilities in a heartbeat. With Miller serving as composer, director, and bandleader of a cast of Chicago A-listers, Resavoir debuted earlier this year with Escalator, a hypnotically propulsive and downright groovy slab of futuristic post-jazz that married Miles Davis-style fusion with Tortoise-like hooks.

From start to finish, Resavoirs debut is a breezy, feel-good-all-over delight that should please fans of Stereolabs psychedelic-flavored art-pop stylings and Millers hometown Chicago post-jazz grooves. Jazz Times
