Matt Ulery’s Loom consists of Thad Franklin on trumpet, Tim Haldeman on tenor saxophone, Jon Deitemyer on drums, Rob Clearfield on accordian and piano, Zach Brock on violin, and Matt Ulery on double bass and compositions.
The music, while coming from the American and European jazz tradition, including highly syncopated rhythms, modern jazz harmony, and improvisation, is also influenced by folk music from the Americas and Eastern Europe as well as modern alternative and indie rock bands from all over the world (Elliot Smith & Nirvana? Check!). Ulery’s music has also been described, at times, as cinematic and fanciful. ‘Loom’ is based out of Chicago, IL.
“…like a seedling unfurling from the soil. …each player—and each style and tradition the band draws on—is like a thread in a sumptuous fabric.” —Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader
