4/4/09: Ab Baars Trio with Ken Vandermark
Dutch reedist Ab Baars brings his trio (bassist Wilbert de Joode and drummer
Martin van Duynhoven) to Portland with American great Ken Vandermark.
Date: April 4, 7PM (artist’s talk plus two sets)
Location: Community Music Center: 3350 SE Francis St Portland, OR 97202 (503) 823-3177
Price: $12 ($10 for students & members), tickets available at www.brownpapertickets.com
Contact: The Creative Music Guild: 503-867-0942 http://www.creativemusicguild.org
_______
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.
