THE VANDERMARK 5Touring their latest CD,
Airports for Light.
Chicago reed-player Ken Vandermark has a formidable set of chops. He's honed them by being one of the most active musicians on the healthy Chicago scene, and from touring both in the States and Europe with clocklike regularity. Amidst all this activity, the Vandermark 5 is where Vandermark is at his best. His most active combo (with five albums in five years under their belt), the three-horn quintet adeptly attacks Vandermark's patented angular compositions, swings the noirish bop grooves, and embellishes these tunes with solos that are individualistic without losing sense of the tune.
