Vandermark, Ken / Mats Gustafsson - Verses
SKU
CvsD CD 09
"Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson and
Chicago saxophonist and clarinetist Ken
Vandermark have worked together extensively
since the mid 1990s, in groups of their own and
as members of the Peter Brötzmann Chicago
Tentet. Oddly, they had never performed
duo before March 2013, when they squared
off at Corbett vs. Dempsey gallery. The result was
a delirious journey through extended techniques,
intimate improvisation, and full-throttle
flame-throwing, with an emphasis on the more
delicate, sensitive side. The CD presents the
entire concert, all six pieces in the order they
were performed. A pair of today's master
improvisers, at the top of their game, in
a free music summit built for two."
