Dkv Trio - Past Present 1994 - 2011 (7Cd Box Set)
7-CD's LIMITED EDITION BOX-SET
NONE OF THIS MATERIAL HAS EVER BEEN PREVIOUSLY RELEASED
One of Ken Vandermark’s most straightforward projects is with the DKV Trio, with Kent Kessler on bass and Hamid Drake on drums. What you get here are the incredible rhythms by the master Hamid Drake himself, funky and free and crisp and sparkling like only he can do it, including in the drum solos, usually a boring thing, but here an absolute delight.
Kessler is best known as the regular bassist in The Vandermark 5 and Brötzmann’s Chicago Tentet, and his interaction with Vandermark’s powerful rhythmic playing is brilliant, whether with thick boppish plucks or more avant-garde bowing, he always keeps the pulse going.
And Vandermark, he can bop, swing, shout, sing and weep, but most of all he is the champion of building structure and then have it implicitly move on through his soloing, always nicely returning to the base, while having explored the various possibilities inherent in it, and keeping this incredible pulse throughout.
Put all three together and you get the best fireworks to come from a sax trio. The real treat is that you get 7 albums in this limited edition box with live performances between mid-2008 till 2011.
