Uncivilized
Uncivilized is a New York-based jazz collective led by guitarist Tom Csatari and featuring a revolving cadre of musicians. The group's sound is wide-ranging, drawing freely from post-bop, avant-garde jazz, folk, and indie rock. They debuted in 2014 with a self-titled effort before gaining wider attention with several inventive projects, including 2018's Twin Peaks-inspired Uncivilized Plays Peaks, 2020's Garden with trumpeter Jaimie Branch, and a 2022 album of Chico Hamilton songs. Following a trio of solo guitar albums, Csatari released a 2023 album of Thelonious Monk songs, 5 by Monk by Csatari.
Born in Dallas, Texas, Csatari grew up in rural New Hampshire before moving to New York City in 2007. It was there, around 2014, that he formed his genre-bending collective Uncivilized, working at various times with players like reedists Levon Henry, Kyle Wilson, Casey Berman, and L'Rain's Ben Chapoteau-Katz, bassists Nick Jost and Nick Jozwiak, drummer Rachel Housle, keyboardist Dominic Mekky, flutist Tristan Cooley, trumpeter Luther Wong, and others. The group's eponymously titled debut, Uncivilized, appeared on the Tiny Montgomery label in 2014. In 2015, they returned with the double album Outro Waltz, which featured contributions by drummer RJ Miller. It found the group mixing originals (including the song "Uncivilized" after which they are named) alongside covers of songs by Chris Weisman, Thelonious Monk, Lee Morgan, and Elliott Smith.
Two years later, they released the Melted Candy EP (which featured an appearance by Jib Kidder) and followed up with a string of singles and EPs. All of this led up to the release of their 2018 full-length, Uncivilized Plays Peaks, which mixed tunes from Angelo Badalamenti's Twin Peaks soundtrack with Csatari originals.
In 2020, the group released Garden, which featured trumpeter Jaimie Branch on a cover of Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock." The track was recorded live at Brooklyn's Pioneer Works with mixing by Stephen Cooper of Cloud Becomes Your Hand and Guerilla Toss. It was also during this period that Csatari released a trio of solo guitar albums with 2019's Placebo - Ish, 2021's Placebo - Niche, and 2021's Placebo - Transcendence.
He was back with a full ensemble for 2022's Uncivilized Plays Chico (Lagniappe Session), which found the group interpreting songs by boundary-breaking bebop and Latin jazz percussionist Chico Hamilton. In 2023, Csatari released a solo guitar album of Thelonious Monk songs, 5 by Monk by Csatari, on his own Ignore Heroes label. It featured an appearance by Uncivilized flutist Tristan Cooley.
