Emergency Group at the Milwaukee Psych Fest on May 11, 2024

First up in our coverage of the 2024 Milwaukee Psych Fest is this set from Emergency Group, a Brooklyn-based jazz quartet whose work is sometimes compared to the so-called "Electric Period" of Miles Davis. They focus on improvised pieces over more composed works and present a delightfully light-handed groove with a healthy dose of impressive solos.
