Creative Differences is pleased to announce the Baltimore debut of Unfold Ordinary Mind, the powerful new quintet led by Ben Goldberg, featuring Ellery Eskelin, Rob Sudduth, Nels Cline and Ches Smith.

The clarinetist and composer Ben Goldberg, a former student of Steve Lacy and Joe Lovano, has been pulling from the jazz, folk and Klezmer traditions for many years, always managing to discover something uniquely his own. He has worked with Zeena Parkins, Vijay Iyer, Myra Melford, and John Zorn, among others, and is the leader of several celebrated ensembles, including Tin Hat, the New Klezmer Trio and the Ben Goldberg Quintet. Goldberg got the idea for a quintet in which his Eb contra alto clarinet would take the place of a bass player. So he invited the tenor saxophonists Ellery Eskelin and Rob Sudduth, the guitarist Nels Cline and the drummer Ches Smith to Bunker Studio, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. After a few hours of rehearsal, not only was Unfold Ordinary Mind born, but the group also recorded its first album; this eponymous debut will be released in January by Goldberg’s label, BAG Productions. About the music, Goldberg says it’s “dire,raw and to the point.”
