Album DescriptionKeefe Jackson's Fast Citizens explore the boundaries between composition and improvisation. Jackson, saxophonist and principal composer, formed the Chicago group in 2003. In 2004 Fast Citizens held a residency at Chicago's famous club the Hideout, where the group developed a formidable cohesiveness. Their music has broadened, even redefined the idea of a "cooperative" band. Berman, Jackson, and Rosaly are also members of the Chicago Luzern Exchange, whose 2005 Delmark release "Several Lights" received great critical and audience acclaim. Keefe Jackson, tenor saxophone
Josh Berman, cornet
Aram Shelton, alto saxophone
Fred Lonberg-Holm, cello
