SUMMARY:No Idea Residency #1: Ken Vandermark & Mabel Kwan - Day 29
DESCRIPTION:7pm: Film screening of Daniel Kraus’ Work Series #2: Musician \n58 mins\, 2007 \nDaniel Krauss’ film\, Musician\, works with a similar methodology as Frederick Wiseman—no voice overs\, no talking heads—letting the camera capture events as they unfold in real time. Though Ken Vandermark is at the center of the action\, he is not the subject of the film. Instead\, the subject is the work it takes for every musician\, whatever genre\, to get their material onstage and is a one-of-a-kind document of this process. \n8pm: Mabel Kwan + Ken Vandermark Duo \nMabel Kwan and Ken Vandermark have worked together in various formats\, including projects with the new music group Ensemble Dal Niente featuring new work by Roscoe Mitchell\, Last Trane to Clover Five (2021)\, and performances at Big Ears Festival (2022). Since then they have played together in various improvised music groups; this will be their first concert as a duo. \n9:15pm: Panel Discussion and Artist Talk \nVandermark’s resoluteness in managing innumerable projects function as a springboard to investigate and understand the complexities of establishing and maintaining a creative life in music. Panel members represent different aspects of Ken’s sprawling work as musician\, label owner (Audiographic Records since 2014)\, Director of the Catalytic Sound musician cooperative (since 2012)\, concert presenter (Catalytic Sound Festival since 2020)\, and writer. \nKen Vandermark – musician\nMabel Kwan – musician\nEric Drott – Professor at UT Butler School of Music and author of Streaming Music\, Streaming Capital (Duke Press)\nPedro Moreno – Founder of Epistrophy Arts\, a grass-roots organization dedicated to presenting the finest in improvised music and adventurous jazz in Austin Texas since 1998.

SUMMARY:No Idea Residency #1: The music of Fred Anderson + Dennis González\, performed by Frerck\, González\, Vandermark
DESCRIPTION:The music of legendary musician Fred Anderson\, a founding member of the AACM and a mentor for numerous musicians\, is rarely heard outside of Chicago. Vandermark was fortunate enough to work with Anderson on a regular basis\, record an album of his compositions with the DKV Trio\, as well as feature Anderson as a guest soloist on the Territory Band album\, Collide (2007). Vandermark will present a selection of Fred Anderson’s pieces in a trio with North Texas musicians Stefan González and Matthew Frerck. \n[photo of Fred Anderson by Donald Bromley\, photo of Dennis González courtesy of Stefan González’s Facebook page]The trio will also perform selections of music from Dallas’ pioneering trumpeter\, artist and educator Dennis González. González established the Dallas Association for Avant-Garde and Neo Impressionistic Music (daagnim) in the late 1970s\, at the suggestion of Anthony Braxton and Art Lande. The daagnim organization\, which functioned both as a group of musicians and as a record label\, was based on and named after Chicago’s AACM. Dennis’ youngest child\, drummer and vibraphonist Stefan González\, will present selections of their father’s music heavily influenced by his work with Chicago colleagues Malachi Favors and Alvin Fielder (via Mississippi)\, among others. \nKen Vandermark – tenor saxophone\, Bb clarinet\nMatthew Frerck – double bass\nStefan González – drumset \n[photo of Fred Anderson by Donald Bromley\, photo of Dennis González courtesy of Stefan González’s Facebook page]
