Atomic: Retrograde
by John Kelman
Plenty has been written about the intersection--past and present--between members of the Swedish/Norwegian collective Atomic, and Chicago's Ken Vandermark's countless projects. Most telling, perhaps, is this simple fact: were Atomic American-based, there's little doubt it would garner similar accolades from a considerably larger audience unafraid of the kind of fearless experimentation that's been the quintet's signature ...

Vandermark 5: Beat Reader
by AAJ Italy Staff
La notizia, vale la pena sottolinearlo fin dalla prima riga, è che i Vandermark 5 sembrano aver finalmente e definitivamente elaborato il “lutto” per la perdita di Jeb Bishop. Defezione imprevista e piuttosto problematica, anche perchè l’uscita dal gruppo nel 2005 del trombonista-chitarrista, rimpiazzato dal violoncellista Fred Lonberg-Holm, ha comportato un cambio di formazione che, a ...

The Thing with Ken Vandermark and Two Bands & A Legend: Collaborative Furies
by Eyal Hareuveni
Swedish/Norwegian power trio The Thing--featuring Mats Gusatfsson on saxophones and the colossal rhythm section of Ingebrigt Håker Flaten on bass and Paal Nilssen-Love on drums--like to enlist additional players who will bring further energy to their already dense dynamics. American saxophone hero Joe McPhee, or “the Legend" as the group refer to him, has been an ...
