Tune of the Week: Isotope 217

Isotope 217 was a jazz-fusion band from Chicago in the late 90s/early 00s. A product of the talent-laden Wicker Park scene of the time, Isotope shares three members with Tortoise. Like most of the music produced by this scene, Isotope’s music draws from multiple sources: jazz, funk, rock, and ambient are all on hand. Of all of co-leader Rob Mazurek’s projects this one displays the most electric Miles Davis influence. This track features guitarist Jeff Parker’s amazing solo abilities. Tune in and jam out!
