The meeting of Dutch reedist Ab Baars and his American counterpart Ken Vandermark offers the uproar you'd expect when acknowledged tenor heavyweights join forces. But there's plenty more to enjoy than displays of heroic strength. This band, with bassist Wilbert de Joode and drummer Martin van Duynhoven shows open forms, varied improvisational strategies, wacky use of juxtaposition, and an unwillingness to treat jazz—or any music—as a fixed art form. They play two sets preceded by an artist’s talk.
