"Better a Rook Than a Pawn is an album with many storms, and those storms have many eyes. The chameleonic nature of the music is as unpredictable as the weather, or the shape of the next snowflake. It’s a characteristic typical of a Ken Vandermark project. Joined by Erez Dessel (piano, Nord synthesizer), Lily Glick Finnegan (drums), and Beth McDonald (tuba, electronics), the multi-reedist shows that his cutting-edge sound is sharp as ever, and paired by his endless drive to dance upon its precipice."

After two great evenings of music in Vienna for the CK SIXTY concerts organized by Christof Kurzmann, which featured an extraordinary cast of musicians, I'm heading to the Netherlands for two duo shows with Terrie Hessels. We'll be performing Friday night, September 8th, in two cities- at Worm in Rotterdam and then at Pletterij in Haarlem. This ongoing project with Terrie is an essential collaboration for me. We just played together for Andy Moor's 60th celebration at Instants Chavirés in Paris during June, and we're currently finishing up work on a new album. Links to full details for these Friday concerts below.
