Ken Vandermark (USA): tenor saxophone & clarinet
Paal Nilssen-Love (Norway): drums & percussion
The high impact duo of Paal Nilssen-Love (drums) and Ken Vandermark (reeds) has been working together at an accelerated rate since 2002, and they have put out seven albums of exceptional and wide ranging improvised music since then. Though they have both worked in many critically acclaimed groups – from the Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet, Lean Left (with Terrie Hessels and Andy Moor of The Ex) to Double Tandem (with Dutch saxophonist, Ab Baars) – they have continued to return to their duo for more than a dozen years because it remains crucial to their creative output.
Since their first album, they’ve performed on an international basis every year – in Europe, North America, and Japan. Their approach to the duo context is ferocious in its intensity, combining extreme rhythmic velocity with formal deconstruction and re-assembly, and a freedom to use any genre at any time. In many ways, Nilssen-Love and Vandermark are more open in this setting than in any of their other playing situations, creating a unique approach to improvised music that is riveting for both its ideas and execution.
The duo’s latest album, Screen Off, has been hailed as a conceptual breakthrough for the band. Before the pandemic broke loose, they did an extensive tour of Japan with many legends as guest; Akira Sakata, Yuji Takahashi and Masahiko Satoh. These recordings became part of their 7CD box set which was released in connection with another extensive tour of Japan in January 2024.
