Ken Vandermark

Ken Vandermark

Saxophoniste, clarinettiste, compositeur et improvisateur, Ken Vandermark s'est imposé comme l'une des figures les plus actives de l'avant-garde américaine. Sa discographie témoigne de collaborations avec des musiciens issus de traditions très diverses : l'AACM par Fred Anderson, la scène downtown new-yorkaise par Ikue Mori, le label allemand FMP par Peter Brötzmann, l'improvisation anglaise par Paul Lytton, la musique éthiopienne par Getachew Mekuria, ou encore le free jazz japonais par Akira Sakata.

En 1999, Vandermark reçoit une bourse MacArthur pour l'ensemble de son travail musical. Depuis 2012, il dirige Catalytic Sound, une coopérative de musiciens improvisateurs, et gère depuis 2014 son propre label, Audiographic Records. Curateur autant qu'interprète, il continue de tourner intensivement, notamment en trio avec le saxophoniste Joe McPhee et le batteur Chris Corsano.
