Extraordinary Popular Delusions: Apocryphal Fire in the Warehouse, and Other Explanations
by Mark Corroto
The hit-and-miss improvisation of Extraordinary Popular Delusions has to be admired. The quartet's instant composing (or group improvisation) often begins like a psychodynamic free association, with the players relaying whatever comes into their minds. This music making without the censorship of preplanning or forethought can yield gems or germs. EPD band, whose previous ...
Territory Band: Collide
by Mark Corroto
Collide is Ken Vandermark's sixth release for his transatlantic small big band (or is it a large small group?) of American jazz meets European improvisers. Unlike the prior sessions, this disc is comprised of a single composition, divided into five parts. The Territory Band has, at its core, players who execute Vandermark's ...

In doing so, Vandermark continues the argument begun the day Louis Armstrong played a familiar march his own way." ...
Territory Band: Company Switch
by Rex Butters
Ken Vandermark's fourth collection with the Territory Band, Company Switch, continues to mine ideas too big for the Vandermark 5. Lasse Marhaug, who replaces Kevin Drumm on electronics, seems more inclined to contribute color and texture to the ensemble's experimentation. Given Vandermark's imagination and the assembly of musicians, sparks fly and vast amounts of musical landscape ...

Territory Band: Map Theory
by Germein Linares
Ken Vandermark's ongoing Territory Band makes its third appearance on Map Theory, a sprawling and challenging album of six tunes.

Each of the six originals by ...
