This is a reworking of a studio jam. That sounds like an oxymoron! All hands on deck with a signature Uncivilized drone devolution to boot!!

A dizzying drum feature, with a modal, eastern-tinged main theme. Chico wrote great melodies; he had a successful jingle-writing business for many years. His melodies were simple but evocative: check out the bass lines too from the tuba-- hip & modern.

This Chico original feels like the soundtrack to a dance sequence in a Polanski film. Chico and his quintet starred in the 1957 crime drama Sweet Smell of Success and scored it as well. This tune has that cinematic vibe but it's also chock full of bossa-nova groove and group interplay.

A quick triplet number with a gorgeous melodic theme reminiscent of Duke Ellington's "Caravan" but more outré and bizarro. We took it Hendrix-meets-Twin Peaks with a gauzy feedback and reverse delay jam to wash everything out. Cello + Flute bringing it to those poignant uppers while the tuba and drums stir the pot. Is that cello playing bebop?

"Marcheta" which was written as a Mexican Love Song for a Hollywood film by one of Johnny Mercer’s favorite collaborators, Victor Schertzinger. It showcases Chico's arranging skills and orchestrational genius: he always had a very unique instrumentation in each of his famed quintets.

Uncivilized New York, New York
Uncivilized is a New York-based jazz collective headed by Tom Csatari. They first appeared in 2014 with a self-titled album on Tiny Montgomery, returning with the Melted Candy EP in 2016. A string of singles and EPs lead up to their debut full-length in 2018, Uncivilized Plays Peaks. Their music is composed, but loose. It's a melodic and exuberant sound. ~ Sean Westergaard, AllMusic ... more
