Ken Vandermark

Simultaneously released with the LP “Lacerba”, “Provoke” is the result of a three day series of concerts, by a Ken Vandermark’s new project, during the commemoration, in Lisbon, of the 10th anniversary of the label Clean Feed. This is it: Made to Break, a quartet shared with electronicist Christoff Kurzmann, electric bassist Devin Hoff and drummer Tim Daisy. “New”, here, means literally a different approach from the many others tried and accomplished by the Chicagoan saxophonist and clarinetist, even if there’s connections with some aspects of the explorations signed by FME, Frame Quartet and Spaceways Inc.
