Drummer Frank Rosaly emerges as a bandleader with Cicada Music

From the Bleader:

Since moving to Chicago in 2001, Rosaly has been a fixture on the local scene, playing with countless groups, but it’s only been in the last few years that he’s focused on forming and writing music for his own. There’s Green and Gold, which he formed to play the music of Sonny Simmons and Prince Lasha; Bootstrap, a quartet inspired by social resistance movements; and Todos de Pie!, a revisionist plena project. But Cicada Music is the first of his groups to release any music, and unlike those other bands, it has no particular conceptual underpinnings.
