Could be interesting. Are they actually using Chopin source material?

I don't know, but judging by the song titles I'd wager "yes" (apologies for the c&p format but I don't want to type all that out)

Étude in E-flat minor (Op. 10, No. 6)  
    Prélude in E-flat minor (Op. 28, No. 14)  
3.   'Raindrop' Prélude in D-flat major (Op. 28, No. 15)  
4.   Valse in C-sharp minor (Op. 64, No. 2)  
5.   Prélude in C major (Op. 28, No. 1)  
6.   Nouvelle Étude in A-flat major (No. 2)  
7.   Prélude in B minor (Op. 28, No. 6)  
8.   Nocturne in C-sharp minor (Op. 27, No. 1)  
9.   Prélude in A minor (Op. 28, No. 2)  
10.   Prélude in E major (Op. 28, No. 9)

Cool, thanks. "Yes" it is!

I'm totally unversed in classical so in terms of how true these songs are to the source material I can't tell you. For all I know the titles could be a ruse to lure in Chopin fans and then sucker them into the jazz world. The old switcheroo, if you will. 

It's a good album though, esp if you like Rosenwinkel's style and sound. Brodbeck is new for me and I dug his piano playing also.

Only been paying any real attention to "classical" for a few years now (and generally more modern stuff), but Chopin's harmonies have had an immeasurable influence on a certain type of jazz harmony. Any good collection of the Preludes won't hurt any, if you know what I mean. :)

You may already know but just in case, there's lots more very good music under the Chicago Underground umbrella - Duo, Trio, Quartet and Orchestra.

My introduction to both Rob Mazurek and Chad Taylor, both of whom I still pay very close attention to

Another group I know nothing about, so thanks for the lead. I see in the notes on the rear card they played with Fred Anderson, so that's definitely intriguing.

I suspect Mr Anderson cast a very influential shadow over the generation represented by the Chicago Underground crew, maybe less so in musical style than in organisation and facilitation. 

They connect strongly with Tortoise and others from that Chicago scene. Jeff Parker's in the mix too so in a way it threads right through to the current International Anthem stable.
