Thanks to everyone for coming out to the Lyceum last night and making it such a fun night of the ol’ Five Chord.  I put the first set’s worth of videos up on the video page, check ’em out here!

Big Five Chord at the Brooklyn Lyceum Sunday!  Two sets at our first-ever gig in Park Slope, see you there!

And look some kind words from the IAJRC Journal:

“Lots of fun, and a disc that sounds better and better each time around.”

What a week, we got a lovely little writeup in Cadence, too:

“Lundbom’s quintet seems…spacious, even atmosopheric. The rhythm section lays down direct, often swinging grooves…[Lundbom] delivers spidery lines that float over the rhythm, never quite engaging it. His unaccompanied intro to “Tick-Dog” showcases his indirect bluesiness and sense of free swing.”

Hey, hey “Accomplish Jazz” got a nice little write-up in this month’s Jazziz!

“The push and pull between tradition and rebellion is the key to ‘Accomplish Jazz’…[Big Five Chord] generate excitement and tension via performances that nod to past masters even as they forge into new territory.”
