Ken Vandermarks Resonance (USA Sweden Poland Ukraine)
Friday, 23 October, Communal Theatre, 21,30 hours Dare life to an orchestra of free jazz is a somewhat rischiosa operation that demands agreements, premeditated structures and compositiva unit. Otherwise a vulcanica chaotic note mixture could some gush that flies in all the directions. It is not the risk that runs "Resonance", the newest plan of the sassofonista and clarinettista Ken Vandermark. It in fact is not only improvvisatore being worth, but also a sage arranger, composer and constructor of complex musical structures. Vandermark has already had way to work with of the groups from organic the immensest one, like the Territory Band, but until this moment its "specialties" they were the small groups like, in order to cite of only some, trio "DKV" with Kent Kessler and Hamid Drake, the quartet "Powerhouse Sound" with the chitarrista Jeff Parker and, above all, "Ken Vandermark Five" in which it has to its flank the extraordinary sassofonista Dave Rempis, present also in "Resonance". This last, most recent plan sees the encounter of musicians of the area of Chicago with European, coming from musicians from Polonia, Sweden and Ucraina. Vandermark organizes the orchestra so as to to make to shine everyone of the ten solisti but being maintained a strong control on with of the sound. The jazz of vanguard of ventunesimo the century it passes obligatorily from here.
