TWIN TALK is:
Katie Ernst - bass & voice (Jason Moran, James Falzone, Corbin Andrick)
Andrew Green - drums (Jonas Friddle, Paul Dietrich)
Dustin Laurenzi - tenor saxophone (Marquis Hill, Jeremy Cunningham, Russ Johnson, Jeff Parker)
STORY: While many jazz projects point towards a designated leader, Chicago’s Twin Talk operates as a true democracy. Band members Andrew Green (drums), Dustin Laurenzi (saxophone), and Katie Ernst (bass/vocals) have focused their creative energies on collaborative musical communication on their self-titled sophomore album, TWIN TALK.
Their band name is inspired by the phenomenon of Cryptophasia, or ‘twin speak,’ an autonomous language some twins develop with each other. “The idea of developing a connected and deeply personal language resonated with us,” explains drummer Green, “Dustin, Katie, and I share a musical version of ‘twin talk.’”
