Here some more info, if you must ask:
Diving deep into Chicago’s rich musical legacy, Nick Butcher’s new project, Free Jazz Bitmaps, take cues from two of the city’s most beloved genres: house music and free jazz. Using material culled from discarded house and jazz records, accompanied by his own instrumentation, Butcher is producing upbeat, dance-inspired music, referencing the tonal and rhythmic nuances of both genres.

The series, co-presented by Sonnenzimmer and Hometapes, will consist of six extremely limited edition, lathe-cut 7″s (just ten copies per release!) housed in screen printed sleeves featuring cover art by Nadine Nakanishi. The entire collection will then be released early next year in a more widely-available 12” LP along with reinterpretations of the songs by renowned Chicago improvisers Jason Adasiewicz, Tim Daisy, Keefe Jackson, Mike Reed, Jason Reobke, and Jason Stein.

Tonight’s show celebrates the release of the sixth and final installment of Free Jazz Bitmaps. Butcher will also be taking pre-orders for the 12” LP and giving away limited edition, screen printed posters with each order.
