Vandermark 5 er her fanget live på spillestedet Alchemia i Krakow, Polen 5 aftener fra den 15-19 marts 2004. Ken Vandermark har selv udtalt om disse optagelser "I consider the five night stand by the Vandermark 5 at Alchemia in Krakow, Poland from March 15 -19, 2004, to be one of the highlights of my career". Bandet bestod disse aftener af Ken Vandermark på reeds, Dave Rempis på saxofoner, Jeb Bishop på trombone, Kent Kessler på double bass og Tim Daisy på trommer. Disse optagelser er efterfølgende samlet i et bokssæt der er noget af det smukkeste jeg nogensinde har haft imellem hænderne. Mageløst lavet med smuk boks i grønt stof med unikt billede, giga informativt hæfte med flotte billeder og interessant læsning (både på engelsk og polsk) og med cd'erne placeret på 3 stykker kraftigt pap med billeder fotograferet af Ken Vandermark selv, 4 styk på hver. Ved disse koncerter på Alchemia optrådte Vandermark 5 med 2 forskellige sets hver aften og mindst et ekstranummer, alt i alt er der totalt 55 numre fordelt på disse 12 cd'er i fantastisk kvalitet. Ken Vandermark har selv udtalt om optagelserne "I consider the five night stand by the Vandermark 5 at Alchemia in Krakow, Poland from March 15 -19, 2004, to be one of the highlights of my career". De 10 første cd'er er de sets der blev spillet på de nævnte aftener og de to sidste cd'er er jamsessions fra den 17 marts 2004 med de to polske musikere Marcin Oles på double bass og Bartlomiej Brat Oles på trommer. Nogle få af numrene er gengangere, men udgaverne er aldrig helt de samme, det kan være en solo der bliver spillet på en anden måde eller et nummer der lige er 3-4 minutter længere. Det er vildt fedt at få fingre i sådan et bokssæt som dette da det på ypperste vis dokumenterer en samling optagelser som viser os hvordan bandet faktisk lød i denne periode og hvor forskelligt de spillede på disse 5 aftener. Der bliver hovedsagelig spillet egne numre, de fleste skrevet af Ken Vandermark, men også gamle klassikere som "The Bridge" af Sonny Rollins, "Bemsha Swing" af Thelonious Monk, "The Black And Crazy Blues" af Roland Kirk, "Conquistador Part 2" af Cecil Taylor, "Wherever June Bugs Go" af Archie Shepp og "Lonely Woman" af Ornette Coleman bliver trukket igennem The Vandermark 5 maskinen med enestående flotte resultater. Det her er så forbandet forrygende og overlegent spillet at man ikke kan andet end begejstres. Denne boks er nok ikke den Vandermark 5 udgivelse man skal starte med, dels fordi at den er en temmelig bekostelig affære og man måske skal starte med en af enkelt cd'erne for at finde ud af om det i det hele taget er noget for en og dels fordi at det er en stor mundfuld at starte med og for den ikke øvede Vandermark 5 lytter nok vil være for meget på en gang. Men på den anden side, når du først er blevet fanget af lyden som denne gruppe producerer er der ingen vej tilbage, så SKAL du have fat i det og så kan det være det er for sent da jeg nemlig ikke tror at dette bokssæt vil være tilgængeligt for evigt. Så hvornår du vil anskaffe bokssættet må vel være op til dig selv og hvor længe du tør vente. En ting er sikkert når du er klar til det vil du ikke blive skuffet og bare vent... du vil blive klar.
