The meeting of Dutch reedist Ab Baars and his American counterpart Ken Vandermark offers the uproar you’d expect when acknowledged tenor heavyweights join forces. But there’s plenty more to enjoy than displays of heroic strength.
This band with bassist Wilbert de Joode and drummer Martin van Duynhoven shows open forms, varied improvisational strategies, wacky use of juxtaposition, and an unwillingness to treat jazz—or any music—as a fixed art form.
Baars adopted a very personal style, or ‘ab music’ as Misha Mengelberg calls it.
Vandermark has been a key figure in the Windy City’s new music scene showing his commitment to the tougher side of the American saxophone tradition, as well as his fascination for European-style improvising.
CD Goofy June Bug Wig 15
(...) This is a peak performance by a crew of seasoned veteran’s, and one of the better records I’ve heard this year.
Bill Meyer Down Beat October 2008
