Al doilea concert din seria aniversara JADD-CONTROL ATELIERELE DE IMPROVIZATIE 5 ANI il are ca protagonist pe artistul improvizator si multi media Rob Mazurek. Muzica lui este inspirata dintr-o multitudine de stiluri audio-video care se intind pe ultimele trei decenii. Mazurek isi potenteaza interpretarea la cornet cu o paleta variata de device-uri electronice, claviaturi si computer programming, astfel ca stilul lui muzical depaseste orice categorisiri. Revenit la Chicago dupa o sedere prelungita in Sao Paulo, Mazurek conduce si compune in prezent pentru numeroase ansambluri, incluzand Chicago Underground Duo, Exploding Star Orchestra, Sao Paulo Underground, Pharoah & The Underground (cu Pharoah Sanders), si cel mai recent, Black Cube SP.
 
Black Cube SP este practic vechiul si mult apreciatul sau grup Sao Paulo Underground trio la care se adauga Thomas Rohrer, un maestru al unui instrument numit rabeca ( un fel de viola straveche braziliana). Grupul a inregistrat primul sau album, Return the Tides, la cunoscuta casa de discuri Cuneiform, in octombrie 2014.
 
Rob Mazurek a aparut recent pe coperta revistei The Wire si a fost votat MUSICIAN OF THE YEAR de catre revista italiana Musica Jazz! Rob Mazurek este in prezent unul dintre cei mai cunoscuti si apreciati exploratori muzicali.
 
"This is as powerful as music gets. Thick waves of sonic dissonance come crashing down, leaving hard-charging grooves in its wake. Melodic fragments are shouted out, wailed, plaintively howled. The din is overwhelming, but never comes off as threatening. The music is intense, but never comes off as violent or aggressive. There are passages where spiritual jazz joins hands with a 70s trip-jazz-rock fusion, and it sounds like music from the past. There are passages that tremble and shake rhythmically like something that could only come from the present day. The music pulses and it drones and it chants and rises up like flame from a match. This is Mazrurek putting himself out there for all to see. More, perhaps, than he ever has before in his already impressive career." (Dave Sumner)
