Radio Free Europa

(AVAILABLE NOW) the seventh CD on Leo Records by the hugely talented guitarist Mark O'Leary. Recorded in Chicago in April 2006, Radio Free Europa is a coming together of O'Leary (who rubbed shoulders with Paul Bley, Matt Maneri, Matthew Shipp, Tomasz Stanko, Uri Caine, Steve Swallow and Tom Rainey to name just a few), John Herndon (drummer with Tortoise) and Matt Lux from Isotope 217 on bass. It is underground music with a subtle Orwellian tinge to the dialogue. Chicago indie jazz meets European chamber improv. Track listing: Reaching Out, Silent Will, Spraoi, Not Without Hope, Changing, Storm Und Drang, Radio Free Europa, Collateral.
