Side A: A New Margin
by Mark Corroto
It is quite rare to hear multi-reedist Ken Vandermark record or perform with a pianist, the reason being that, back in the day (the early 1990s), his brand of new Chicago jazz was presented much like the hardcore punk scene of the previous decade--out of the back of a van. Like Henry Rollins and Black Flag, Vandermark's life was one of constant travel, setting up and breaking down, only to move on to the next show. Needless to ...

Dave Bass Says: Go Inside And Outside

Scott Feldman
After the 2015 release of Dave Bass’ NYC Sessions (Whaling City Sound), pianist and composer Dave Bass learned quickly how the venue influences the performance. “When we played at a traditional jazz club like Kitano in NYC, we could bring vocalist Karrin Allyson plus a quartet and make a big sound. But smaller gigs at places like Piedmont Piano Company in jny: Oakland led me to doing just a piano/sax duo—in that case with Greg Abate. It’s both challenging and ...

However, the festival is now marking its third year at Snape Maltings near Aldeburgh on the Suffolk coast. FlipSide 2015 presents its most intriguing bill of fare yet with writers like Louis de Bernières, Fernanda Torres, Esther Freud, Chloe Aridjis and David Hare. There are art exhibitions, workshops for children, dance classes in samba and tango, great South American food and ...

Side A, "A New Margin": Vandermark, Wiik, Taylor Get It Going

Gapplegate Music Review by Grego Edwards
Side A? A trio of Ken Vandermark, reeds, Havard Wiik, piano, Chad Taylor, drums. Their A New Margin (Clean Feed 235) seems like the right combination of inspired improvisation, appropriate and memorable composition, and collective spark. The compositional assignments are equally divided among the three, which makes sense since Ken and Chad do good work, and it turns out Havard does too. “Boxer" is a fitting and stirring beginning with a sort of modified ostinato that is in a lineage ...

Music and More by Tim Niland
One needs a continuous RSS feed all its own to keep up with the number of projects saxophonist, clarinetist and composer Ken Vandermark is involved in these days. This is a comparatively new project, a collaborative one featuring Vandermark with Havard Wiik on piano and Chad Taylor on drums. It is interesting to hear Vandermark playing in a group with a pianist, and a bassless one no less. But it works really well, and the music is consistently fresh and ...
