SUMMARY:Blue Earth Sound (Album Release) at Berlin
DESCRIPTION:Blue Earth Sound comes from Chicago to perform two sets of cinematic jazz and celebrate their dreamy debut LP\, “Cicero Nights\,” which comes out Sept. 12 on London-based jazz label Root Records. \nBand Members:\nJames Weir – Keys\nMichael Wells – Guitar\nEamonn Prizy – Flute/Saxophone\nMartín Diaz – Bass\nPatch Romanowski – Drums \n\n“On Cicero Nights\, James Weir’s Blue Earth Sound emerges with a meditative and richly cinematic debut\, a beautiful statement of identity rooted in jazz but unbound by genre. Recorded at Chicago’s International Anthem warehouse\, a spiritual home for the city’s experimental vanguard\, the forthcoming eight-track instrumental project feels like a long-lost film score unearthed from the analog archives’ of 1970s soul-jazz\, reimagined for the modern Midwest. – Twisted Soul \n\nJames Weir\, known for his work in Chicago’s vibrant music scene\, is stepping into the spotlight with “Cicero Nights\,” the debut album from his new project Blue Earth Sound. Out Sept. 12 via Root Records\, the album marks his first release as a bandleader and composer\, introducing a lush\, instrumental jazz sound that feels both timeless and deeply personal. \nAcross eight immersive tracks\, “Cicero Nights” blends soulful grooves\, cinematic textures\, and intuitive musicianship. It’s a record built for golden hour hangs and slow walks through the neighborhood—filled with moments that drift\, swell\, and settle into their own rhythm. 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. \nThe 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 he linked up with his neighbor—drummer 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\, including Will Miller (Resavoir)\, Eamonn Prizy\, and Michael Wells. \nThe name Blue Earth Sound comes from Weir’s hometown in Minnesota\, but the album is unmistakably a Chicago record—rooted in soulful experimentation and thoughtful collaboration. “Cicero Nights” is the kind of album that sets a vibe early in the evening and carries you through with style\, subtlety\, and heart.
