Description:

On March 24, 2023 Rob Mazurek assembled his endlessly psychedelic and explorative large ensemble Exploding Star Orchestra under the dome of Chicagoâ??s Adler Planetarium to perform material from their recently released album Lightning Dreamers along with a number of new pieces. A digital projection flashed an ever-changing stream of vividly colored, abstract shapes derived from Mazurekâ??s paintings and animations over the audienceâ??s heads, while the Orchestra, which on this night numbered eight musicians besides its leader, transformed the stylistically disparate pieces from Lightning Dreamers into an enveloping maelstrom. Electric pianists Angelica Sanchez and Craig Taborn pushed layers of plush texture back and forth over the intricate, tripartite grooves of bassist Ingebrigt HÃ¥ker Flaten and two drummers, Chad Taylor and Gerald Cleaver. Mazurekâ??s trumpets and wordless cries, Tomeka Reidâ??s cello and Nicole Mitchellâ??s flute and voice periodically surfaced out of the flow, issuing sharp, energetic statements, while Damon Locksâ?? proclamations flickered in and out of the mix like an erratic signal from some interstellar radio announcer. Together, they reimagined the brooding sound of Miles Davisâ?? Bitches Brew as a force for transcendent uplift. At one point, Mitchell put down her flute, spoke into Mazurekâ??s ear and pointed up to toward the dome. As he looked up, his own horn came down, and for a moment, the two of them gazed with undisguised awe at the spectacle that the Orchestra had unleashed. In a time when so many forces conspire to bring people down, this concert was an invitation to look up and out past the horizon. -
