about
The Chicago Luzern Exchange consists of three musicians from Chicago: Josh Berman (cornet), Keefe Jackson (tenor sax), Frank Rosaly (drums) and one from Switzerland: Marc Unternährer (tuba). The ensemble formed when the Chicagoans met tubaist Marc Unternährer, a native of the Swiss city of Luzern, who was spending five months in Chicago in 2002 as part of a "sister cities" program. With Berman (a native Chicagoan), Jackson (originally from Arkansas), and Rosaly (from Arizona but a Chicagoan since 2001) he realized he had met musicians with whom he found common cause. Their first album together Several Lights, recorded for Delmark Records on a later visit in 2005, was widely reviewed as one of the best records of 2005.
