Vandermark 5: Annular Gift
by AAJ Italy Staff
Parlando di Ken Vandermark si rischia a volte di ripetersi, specialmente quando si sottolinea - ed è sempre doveroso farlo - quanto il suo lavoro riesca sempre a muoversi con altissima qualità nell'esplorazione dei linguaggi contemporanei che tentano di sintetizzare creativamente il lessico afroamericano degli ultimi cinquant'anni. In questo senso il percorso dei Vandermark 5 è ...
The Engines: Wire and Brass
by Mark Corroto
The second disc by the Chicago collaboration known as The Engines is a live date recorded at the Hungry Brain in April of 2008.

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 ...
Fire Room: Broken Music
by Troy Collins
Broken Music is the appropriately titled debut of Fire Room, a collaborative international effort featuring wildly prolific Chicago-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Ken Vandermark. This unconventional trio features Norwegians Paal Nilssen-Love (drums) and Lasse Marhaug (electronics), inceptive members of Vandermark's Powerhouse Sound. Exploring similar territory, Fire Room ventures further into the extremes of brutal cacophony and disquieting ...
