| | CMT.com : Rob Mazurek : Biography |
 | | Mazurek's Orchestra would spawn a number of spin-offs including a Duo (with Taylor), Trio (with Kupersmith), and a Quartet (with Parker), all of which wore the Chicago Underground banner. |
 | | A disorienting mix of jazz flourishes, muscular funk, hip-hop reductions, and minimalist electronica, the group was a collaboration between Orchestra members (Mazurek, Parker, and Smith), veteran Chicago bassist Matt Lux, and Tortoise's Dan Bitney and John Herndon. |
 | | Mazurek had discovered the music of Morton Feldman and Vladimir Ussachevsky as well as visual artists like Mark Rothko, all of which seemed to find a way into the music. |
