Ken Vandermark - reeds

Produced by Bob Weston, the new V5 album Elements of Style is concerned with scale- and is available only in size XXL. Chicago's (and perhaps America's) most powerful new jazz quintet have created an array of musical themes & structures destined to blow the roof off the/your house with a superb balance of post-bop & avant-garde material. Ken Vandermark's premiere project has been touring the planet relentlessly, and has never sounded more big time, complete or sublime.

“From quiet intensity to hair-raising peaks; this is music full of surprise and playfulness, though not necessarily overburdened with nuance. Call it full-frontal jazz.”
-Downbeat
