Our Take

Robert Mazurek is back, and this time he's got us all facing east with his latest album, aptly titled "Man Facing East." The Chicago-based musician has been a staple in the avant-garde jazz scene for years, and this album is a prime example of why he's become a household name in the genre.

From the first notes of the opening track, Mazurek's Quartet takes us on a sonic journey that is equal parts mesmerizing and invigorating. The intricate melodies and complex rhythms are expertly woven together to create a tapestry of sound that is both challenging and captivating.

Mazurek's trumpet playing is nothing short of astonishing, with each note hitting you right in the feels. His bandmates provide the perfect backdrop for his virtuosic playing, with each member bringing their own unique flair to the table.

Tracks like "Eyes in the Back of Your Head" and "Dancing With the Moon" showcase Mazurek's ability to blend traditional jazz influences with more experimental sounds, creating a truly eclectic listening experience.

Overall, "Man Facing East" is a triumph for Robert Mazurek and his Quartet. It's a daring and innovative album that pushes the boundaries of what jazz can be. So go ahead, face east, and let Mazurek take you on a musical journey like no other.
