Chicago bassist and composer Andrew Vogt gets back to basics with full-length album 'Awakening'
Tracks include genius remake of Beatles’ classic “Eleanor Rigby”. In the analogue age, it would have been hard for a musician as omni-dimensional as Chicago’s Andrew Vogt to build a credible profile embracing the sweep of genres in which he is active. Back then, music was tribal and monotheistic and binary choices were as complicated as it got. There were jazz players and rock players, acoustic bassists and electric bassists, and so on and so forth and ne’er the twain should meet. But in the streaming era, Bela Bartok, John Coltrane and Patsy Cline engage in random sonic frottage with each other and nobody is offended. The idea of off-limits bedmates has passed. In jazz, the new inclusiveness allows border-hopping musicians such as Vogt (or pianist Julius Rodriguez or the late, great Chicago-based trumpeter, Jaimie Branch) to thrive.
