Journal (2006) more music like this

by Bridge 61

Bridge 61 one is made up of Ken Vandermark on saxophones, bassist (acoustic and electric) Nate McBride, drummer Tim Daisy, and bass clarinetist Jason Stein. While Vandermark wrote half the album, Daisy and McBride each contributed two tunes. This is vanguard jazz that's full of direction, circular rhythms, and explosive collisions between ...

Real Time

Real Time (2000) more music like this

by Steam

While he appears on many albums under his own name, don't let Ken Vandermark in jazz project Steam go unheard. This is three-fifths of the Vandermark 5 joining pianist Jim Baker. Steam features classic "head" arrangements of theme followed by improvisations followed by theme but often breaks out of even this mold. Baker adds continual variety by ...

Oslo/Chicago: Breaks (2007) more music like this

by (((Powerhouse Sound)))

Powerhouse Sound is another exploration in texture, dynamic, sonority and dramatic power for saxophonist and composer Ken Vandermark. Recorded in Oslo and Chicago with two different bands playing roughly the same material -- with some significant differences as well -- Vandermark brought bassist Nate McBride (Vandermark 5) with him to Norway and ...

Destroy All Music Revisited (2007) more music like this

by The Flying Luttenbachers

Probably the best-known release by the first incarnation of the Flying Luttenbachers, as well as their final album before imploding after the departure of co-leader Ken Vandermark, Destroy All Music sounds just as uncompromising and passionate as it did upon its initial 1994 release. Destroy All Music Revisited adds seven previously unreleased ...

State of the Union [Atavistic]

State of the Union [Atavistic] (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

Produced by composer-performer Elliott Sharp, this is an incredible two-CD collection of one-minute pieces by 146 artists (poets, musicians, writers, visual artists) with proceeds from the sale going to benefit the National Coalition Against Censorship. This has been an on-going project since a similar release in 1982 on zOaR records. "Changing ...

Thirteen Cosmic Standards by Sun Ra & Funkadelic

Thirteen Cosmic Standards by Sun Ra & Funkadelic (2000) more music like this

by Spaceways Incorporated

These are covers of works by Sun Ra and Funkadelic -- innovators that most acts would not think to mix, certainly to the exclusion of all others, in one album. Vandermark, McBride, and Drake offer rather minimal, though still rather busy and full-sounding, interpretations of the works. On the compositions by Sun Ra (all of them taken from that ...

Version Soul (2002) more music like this

by Spaceways Incorporated

Spaceways Inc. has thrown a sexy curveball at those who deemed the band a sideways project for saxophonist Ken Vandermark, drummer Hamid Drake, and bassist Nate McBride. Certainly the band's debut, Thirteen Cosmic Standards by Sun Ra & Funkadelic (also on Atavistic), offered this impression, though in all fairness it was a studio reflection of the ...

Systems Emerge from Complete Disorder (2003) more music like this

by The Flying Luttenbachers

There are few album titles more on-the-nose than the Flying Luttenbachers' Systems Emerge from Complete Disorder. Opening with the unreconstructed feedback-and-skronk guitar noise of "Entropic Field/Total Disorder/Cellular Chaos," the album builds organically, with each song building off of one or more elements from the song immediately preceding, ...

Stumble (1998) more music like this

by AALY Trio & Ken Vandermark

Stumble is an incredibly vibrant concert recording of the AALY Trio with Ken Vandermark which took place January, 1998 at Chicago's Unity Temple. All of the participating musicians are skilled and passionate players who, by the end of the 1990s, had stepped up to the forefront of free jazz and extended techniques.

At the Empty Bottle (2000) more music like this

by Witches & Devils

Mars Williams leads Chicago-based jazz sextet Witches & Devils, whose debut, At the Empty Bottle, is a live tribute to Albert Ayler at his most ecstatic. The three covers of Ayler tunes are spectacular: the group shifts effortlessly among folk tunes and blasts of free noise, and Williams and fellow saxophonist Ken Vandermark lock each other in a ...

Design in Time (1999) more music like this

by Ken Vandermark's Sound in Action Trio

An excellent recording from Chicago jazzmen Ken Vandermark, Tim Mulvenna, and Robert Barry. The trio takes classic "out" tunes and originals and makes them sparkle, giving each a clean execution that's as much inspired energy as it is technique and craft. Barry interlaces with Mulvenna, achieving a complementary and balanced percussion section ...

by AALY Trio & Ken Vandermark

The AALY Trio, a Swedish band made up of reedmaster Mats Gustafsson, bassist Peter Janson, and percussionist Kjell Nordeson, are joined here by Chicagoan Ken Vandermark for a rich, muscular free jazz outing. The two covers included give a good idea of the sonic roots of this group: Charlie Haden's classic "Song for Che" and a medley of Albert ...
