I mean, I can imagine him playing with Pat Boone and it being amazing.

I saw Vandermark in '96 or '97 at a tiny club. He was a beast that night. I mean that in the most positive way. It's like the endless stream of notes were fighting each other to get out of that horn first.

eight years pass...

his Marker album with Steve Marquette and Andrew Clinkman on guitar, Macie Stewart on keyboards and violin and Phil Sudderberg on drums is totally fab. It has tributes to Anthony Braxton & Bernie Worrell, Chantal Akerman, Pina Bausch and Cliff Richard. Well perhaps not, but it's titled Wired For Sound.

seven months pass...

... disappointed if there wasn't a tribute to Cliff Richard on that album.

Saw him playing as Lean Left (w/ Terrie Ex, Andy Moor, Paal Nilssen-Love) last night. Great gig, but on the short side. Ken struggled somehwat to be heard over two electric guitars and Nilssen-Love's drumming (he is one of the loudest drummers I've ever seen) but more than held his own. Andy Moor is an awesome guitarist btw.

some of them ear blistering Scorch Trio albums featuring PNL with guitarist Raoul Bjorkenheim are pretty ace, particularly the 2002 s/t one.
