Construction Party featuring Dave Rempis

Construction Party regroups as saxophonist Dave Rempis makes another (annual) Boston visit. Don't miss it! Construction Party is a longstanding quintet that features Chicago saxophonist Dave Rempis alongside long-standing Boston-based collaborators Luther Gray, Forbes Graham, Pandelis Karayorgis, and Nate McBride. Saxophonist, improviser, and composer Dave Rempis has been an integral part of the thriving Chicago jazz and improvised music scene since 1997. With a background in ethnomusicology and African studies at Northwestern University, including a year spent at the University of Ghana, Rempis burst onto the creative music scene at the age of 22 when he was asked to join the now-legendary Chicago jazz outfit The Vandermark Five. This opportunity catapulted him to notoriety as he began to tour regularly throughout the US and Europe, an active schedule that he still maintains to the present day. At the same time, Rempis began to develop the many Chicago-based groups for which he’s currently known, including The Rempis Percussion Quartet, The Engines, Ballister, Kuzu, Rempis/Abrams/Ra + Baker, and longstanding duos with drummers Frank Rosaly and Tim Daisy. Other collaborations have included work with Paul Lytton, Fred Anderson, Peter Brötzmann, Hamid Drake, Tomeka Reid, Steve Swell, Elisabeth Harnik, John Tchicai, Roscoe Mitchell, Nate Wooley, Jaimie Branch, Jeff Parker, Paal Nilssen-Love, Nels Cline, Marshall Allen, and Joe McPhee. Rempis has recorded for a long list of labels including Okkadisk, 482 Music, Delmark, Atavistic, Clean Feed, Not Two, Astral Spirits, Dropa Disc, Bocian, Driff, Relay, Audiographic, and Multi-Kulti. In 2013, he started his own record label, Aerophonic Records, to document this ongoing work. Rempis has been named regularly since 2006 in the annual Downbeat Critics’s Poll as a “rising star” on both alto and baritone saxophone, a category that he won in 2017. He’s received funding from the Foundation for Contemporary Art, Jazz Road Touring s
