JEB BISHOP
Chicago-based trombonist/improviser/composer Jeb Bishop has been active in new/jazz/improvised music since 1993. Originally trained as a classical trombonist, he was also active in underground rock bands in North Carolina in the 1980s. He has attained international recognition for his work with groups including the Vandermark 5, the Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet, Globe Unity Orchestra, and Atomic School Days, among others. His own projects include the Jeb Bishop Trio, the collaborative quartet The Engines, and Lucky 7s.
His composition for Chicago Sound Map 2010 will focus on the dichotomy/sympathy between electronic and acoustic instruments, the notational strategies appropriate to each, and the traditions of improvising that have grown around each.
