Heisenberg Uncertainty Players (HUP) is a 17-piece Chicago-area jazz ensemble that plays only original compositions and arrangements from members of the group.  Formed in 2011, HUP has been featured around the Chicago area in venues like The Jazz Showcase, Martyrs’, Fitzgerald’s Night Club, The Logan Center for the Arts, and WGN-TV, and they currently hold a monthly residency at Wicker Park’s Phyllis’ Musical Inn.  They have arranged a wide variety of music, covering jazz standards and showtunes to versions of songs by Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, 50 Cent, and other pop/rock artists.  Notable projects for HUP include a collaboration with Chicago rapper K.I.D., their 2013 debut CD of all original compositions, entitled Emergency Postcards, and an upcoming collaboration with a visual artist on a suite written as an homage to torn down baseball stadiums. KID has worked with countless artists and produced multiple projects; he received engineering credits for recording artists Jibbs and Huey on their debut albums. Independently, HMK has produced and released several singles and mixtapes including “Funkfoyotrunk”, ” The St. Louston Project”, “The Klassiks”, and “The Koming”. KID describes his style as “a retro mix of the super good hip-hop of the 90s with elements of funk and rock.”
