I loaded one of my Vandermark 5
recordings into my car’s player the other day.
I have been grooving to it over short trips ever since. The
Color of Memory is one of those spectacular jazz recordings that very few
people will ever hear, or so is my guess.
Ken Vandermark may be the
single best sax player in the business.
He is completely fearless. His
recordings make no compromises. One
number will be very accessible while the next will be in the Twilight
Zone. He incorporates themes from every
conceivable genre, yet keeps a blues/jazz bass always at hand. I am a big fan.
I have been playing ‘Vehicle’
for some time. I have added ‘Chance’. Enjoy.
