Search - Sticks and Stones :: Sticks and Stones

The members of the Chicago-born trio Sticks & Stones first got together on the stage of the Velvet Lounge as part of the Sunday night house band about four years ago. For the past three years, alto saxophonist Matana Roberts, bassist Joshua Abrams, and drummer Chad Taylor have crafted their own brand of honest collective music in the great Chicago tradition. The group's self-titled debut features three original compositions from each of the group's members plus covers of John McNeil's "Lose My Number" and Lee "Scratch" Perry's "Sons of Slaves."
