Dragons

1976

Label: Multikulti Project Country: Poland

"The name came from the year in which all three were born. The three met in Chicago in the early 00's as all were drawn to the city as a place to develop their music. All highly active in the creative music scene there, Dragons 1976 formed in a natural way after playing together for several years and released their first album On Cortez on Locust music in 2003. Largely improvisational, the music of Dragons 1976 focuses on their individuality as musicians while using composed parts to guide the form and structure. While rooted in and influenced by music of the jazz idiom, the music of Dragons 1976 is never bound to it's tradition, as each of the members is influenced by a wide array of styles including minimalism, folk, rock, electronic and free improvisation. Rooted in jazz, their music is strongly melodic; with no set chord progressions, it is allowed to freely find its own space. Dragons 1976 focus on playing as a group, making songs that follow a path from start to finish, and approaching emotional points with subtlety."-Multikulti
