Artist Biography by Matt Collar
A boundary-pushing soloist, composer, and bandleader, saxophonist Brian Krock makes forward-thinking jazz that touches upon avant-garde group improvisation, post-rock, and prog-metal. He first gained attention in 2018 with his dynamic, Brooklyn-based big band Big Heart Machine's eponymous debut album.
A native of Arlington Heights, Illinois, Krock initially studied classical and guitar growing up. As a teenager, he became enamored of heavy metal and prog rock and listened to bands like Rush and Yes, as well as Porcupine Tree, Megadeth, and Pantera. As his musical interests expanded he gravitated toward jazz, which he further explored as an undergraduate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. From there, he earned his Master's Degree in Composition at the Manhattan School of Music where he studied under noted musician/educators like Jim McNeilly and Dr. J. Mark Stambaugh. While living in New York he befriended arranger and Secret Society bandleader Darcy James Argue. Argue then produced the debut of Krock's genre-bending big band, 2018's Big Heart Machine. Along with garnering plaudits for his performance, Krock has earned other accolades including a 2011 ASCAP Young Jazz Composer's Award, a 2012 Manhattan Prize in Composition for his "String Quartet No. 1," and a 2018 Aaron Copland Recording Grant. In 2019, Krock returned with his small group solo debut, Liddle, which included contributions by fellow Big Heart Machine members guitarist Olli Hirvonen and bassist Marty Kenney.

AllMusic Review by Matt Collar
The follow-up to 2018's ambitiously realized big-band work Big Heart Machine, saxophonist Brian Krock offers a smaller, if no less aggressive solo debut with 2019's inventive Liddle. As with Big Heart Machine, Liddle finds Krock drawing inspiration from his dynamic mix of stylistic influences including avant-garde modern creative artists like Anthony Braxton and John Zorn and the M-Base funk of Steve Coleman to the brutal power metal and prog rock that informed his teen years. In that sense, Liddle plays like a micro-version of Big Heart Machine, and even features several of his big-band cohorts in guitarist Olli Hirvonen and bassist Marty Kenney. Also on board are drummer Nathan Ellman-Bell, and special guests pianist Matt Mitchell and six-string electric bassist Simon Jermyn. Cuts like the opening "Flip," "Knuckle Hair," and "Saturnine" are labyrinthine songs that feature unexpectedly knotty tonal shifts from swinging solo sections and free group improvisations to large slabs of atonal noise. Conversely, tracks like "Memphis," with its woozy electric guitar, and "Heart Machine," with its woody bass clarinet, are dewy, dreamlike arrangements that envelop you. Elsewhere, we get the fleet-footed "Composition No. 23b" that evokes the post-bop work of artists like Ornette Coleman and John Abercrombie as much as it does the flight pattern of a hummingbird. Similarly evocative is the levitating album-closer "Please Stop," which finds Krock's earthy sax lines framed by a UFO-sized wave of electric guitar shimmer.
