SUMMARY:The Bottle Tapes Record Release Party w/Joe McPhee & PNL\, Dorothy Carlos\, Locks & Vandermark
DESCRIPTION:Empty Bottle Jazz & Improvised MusicBox Set Launch/Mini Festival From 1996-2005\, the Empty Bottle hosted a weekly series of Wednesday night jazz and improvised music concerts and an annual festival. These events were hailed by the international press as landmarks in creative music\, and helped shift the focus in experimental jazz towards Chicago. Curated by writer and producer John Corbett and musician Ken Vandermark\, much of the Bottle Jazz tzmann\, and Nicole Mitchells Black Earth Ensemble\, which is being released by Corbett vs. Dempsey\, the label associated with Corbetts art gallery of the same name. In the spirit of the original series\, this launch event/mini festival will include old guard and new blood. Joe McPhee\, who is now internationally famed (also for his soundtrack music included in the TV show Severance)\, first played in Chicago at the Bottle in 1996. Nearly three decades later\, he returns for a triumphant set of duets with drummer PNL\, a frequent partner of McPhee’s. Bottle Series co-curator Ken Vandermark will perform in a duet with Black Monument Ensembles founder/leader Damon Locks\, and Chicago improvisor Dorothy Carlos will perform a solo for cello and electronics. The afternoon festivities will include a new poster by Dan Grzeca\, first dibs on the initial hundred copies of the box set\, and a surprise set in the tradition of all Empty Bottle Jazz & Improvised Music festivals.

SUMMARY:Paal Nilssen-Love & Ken Vandermark European Tour/Gothenburg\, Sweden: CLUB iDEAL
DESCRIPTION:The high impact duo of Paal Nilssen-Love (drums) and Ken Vandermark (reeds) has been working together for more than two decades\, touring in Europe\, the United States\, Japan\, and Brazil\, and releasing 11 albums of critically acclaimed\, wide ranging improvised music throughout that period.  Though they have both worked in many other exceptional groups- such as the Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet and Lean Left (with Terrie Hessels and Andy Moor of The Ex)- they have continued to return to their duo for more than 20 years because it remains crucial to their creative output. \nTheir approach to the duo context is ferocious in its intensity\, combining extreme rhythmic velocity with formal deconstruction and re-assembly\, with the freedom to use any genre as a resource at any time. In many ways\, Nilssen-Love and Vandermark are more open in this context than with any of their other playing situations\, creating a unique approach to improvised music that is riveting in its ideas and execution. \nTheir most recent release is the seven CD boxset\, Paal Nilssen-Love & Ken Vandermark: Japan 2019\, which came out in January of 2024.  This co-production from PNL Records and Audiographic Records includes live recordings by the duo from a 16-date concert tour of Japan\, as well as new collaborations with legendary Japanese musicians: Akira Sakata (reeds/voice)\, Masahiko Satoh (piano)\, and Yuji Takahashi (piano).  For more details and link to purchase: \nhttps://paalnilssen-love.bandcamp.com/album/japan-2019 \n[photo by Andy Moor]

SUMMARY:Paal Nilssen-Love & Ken Vandermark European Tour/Oslo\, Norway: Kafe Hærverk
DESCRIPTION:The high impact duo of Paal Nilssen-Love (drums) and Ken Vandermark (reeds) has been working together for more than two decades\, touring in Europe\, the United States\, Japan\, and Brazil\, and releasing 11 albums of critically acclaimed\, wide ranging improvised music throughout that period.  Though they have both worked in many other exceptional groups- such as the Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet and Lean Left (with Terrie Hessels and Andy Moor of The Ex)- they have continued to return to their duo for more than 20 years because it remains crucial to their creative output. \nTheir approach to the duo context is ferocious in its intensity\, combining extreme rhythmic velocity with formal deconstruction and re-assembly\, with the freedom to use any genre as a resource at any time. In many ways\, Nilssen-Love and Vandermark are more open in this context than with any of their other playing situations\, creating a unique approach to improvised music that is riveting in its ideas and execution. \nTheir most recent release is the seven CD boxset\, Paal Nilssen-Love & Ken Vandermark: Japan 2019\, which came out in January of 2024.  This co-production from PNL Records and Audiographic Records includes live recordings by the duo from a 16-date concert tour of Japan\, as well as new collaborations with legendary Japanese musicians: Akira Sakata (reeds/voice)\, Masahiko Satoh (piano)\, and Yuji Takahashi (piano).  For more details and link to purchase: \nhttps://paalnilssen-love.bandcamp.com/album/japan-2019 \n[photo by Andy Moor]
