Corbett vs. Dempsey and De Plattenbakkerij collaborate on A Gentle Reminder, the new long-playing vinyl record album by These Things Happen. A transatlantic quartet featuring three Chicagoans and a pianist from Holland, These Things Happen have, with a slight personnel shift (switching bassists from Joshua Abrams to Jason Roebke), remained in existence since for more than a decade. This is the band's second release, following a recording made in 2016 (released by Astral Spirits in 2022), and it continues their dedication to the music of Misha Mengelberg and Thelonious Monk, as well as original material by Hoogland and Jackson. The sound is lean, self-aware, at times humorous, and its generosity suggests the common wellspring of ideas shared by Amsterdam's instant composition scene and the creative music community in the Windy City.
