| Based around the forward-thinking compositions of bassist Jeff Greene, Blink. is a jazz-crossover four-piece that touches on rock as well as improvisation. Also a member of Human Motion, a local jazz/jam outfit, Greene is but one key cog in Blink.; each member is a shining example of the avant-jazz scene’s future. Dave Miller (Ted Sirota’s Rebel Souls, Algernon) provides noisy wanderings and distant moans on his guitar, sharply contrasting but strongly complementing the refined jazz chops of saxophonist Greg Ward (We Tree, Greg Ward Quartet). Drummer Quin Kirchner (NOMO, Tomorrow Music Orchestra) ably backs any given passage with beats that bounce, gently ting, or hit hard. Greene also provides samples, which add another layer of sonic augmentation.
Founded in the Fall of 2006, the group saw the release of its debut album, The Epidemic of Ideas, on alternative jazz label Thirsty Ear in August of 2008. The album was recorded in the converted bank vault of the north-side I.V. Lab Studios, which has recorded The Occidental Brothers Dance Band International, Umphrey’s McGee and The Plain White Ts.(Scott Morrow) For more information, visit their website: http://www.myspace.com/blinkchicago
