Blue Earth Sound is an experimental jazz project led and composed by Chicago musician James Weir. The music is warm and organic, inspired by everything from 70s Chicago jazz and soul to Japanese fusion, vintage film scores, and the introspective moods of Talk Talk. The project started in Weir’s basement in Humboldt Park, where he began exploring the piano more seriously and reconnecting with songwriting from a new place in life. After linking up with drummer and neighbour Patch Romanowski, the ideas quickly evolved into something more collaborative and expansive. He brought the early material to Dave Vettraino (International Anthem) to help shape the sonic vision, and together they enlisted an incredible cast of players: Will Miller (Resavoir), Eamonn Prizy, Michael Wells, and more. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Blue+Earth+Sound">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
