SUMMARY:Ken Vandermark presents The Field Kitchen Uptown Orchestra & Poets
DESCRIPTION:The “Ken Vandermark plays Field Kitchen/Field Kitchen plays Ken Vandermark” collaboration that began with two concerts in Detroit during June expands to performances by “The Field Kitchen Uptown Orchestra & Poets” project held at The Green Mill in Chicago on Friday\, July 31st and Saturday\, August 1st. \nThe Field Kitchen ensemble has been organized by Ben Hall\, and the band manifests as a hybrid of Hall’s contemporary classical writing\, his rhythmic Detroit roots and the group’s range of experience- from free improvisation to punk to Pentecostal church.  He asked Vandermark to contribute material to pieces composed by the foundation group of  Hall (surdo/conga)\, Indira Edwards & Mike Khoury (violas)\, Cyrus Pireh (guitar)\, and Sharon Udoh (organ) for those Detroit appearances.  These Chicago events will incorporate more elements composed by Vandermark.  The ensemble has now been augmented to a nonet that includes internationally renowned musicians based in both Chicago and Detroit\, representatives of the “New Midwest School”: \nJosh Berman: cornet \nIndira Edwards: viola \nGarrett Frees: reeds \nBen Hall: surdo/conga \nMike Khoury: viola \nNick Macri: electric bass/electronics \nBeth McDonald: tuba/electronics \nSharon Udoh: organ \nKen Vandermark: reeds \nIn addition\, on July 31st the poets\, Kai Ihns and Ken Taylor\, will read some of their work as an introduction to two of the sets; and on August 31st the poets Ed Roberson and John Yau will present some of their material.  All four are critically acclaimed as among the best writers in the field of contemporary poetry. \nBoth of these spectacular concerts of three sets a night by “The Field Kitchen Uptown Orchestra & Poets” will be recorded for a future release on Audiographic Records. \n[poster by Ben Hall]

SUMMARY:Chicago/Texas Sound Ensemble: Monks\, Austin\, show one: 7:30pm
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, August 14th\, the Chicago/Texas Sound Ensemble will reconvene at Monks for two shows: one at 7:30pm and one at 9:30pm.  The performances by this quintet with Kory Cook (drums)\, Matthew Frerck (bass)\, Stefan González (vibraphone)\, and Jonathan Horne (guitar) will be in preparation for a recording session to document the work the group developed while on tour in Texas during May.  It’s a book of nine compositions with tunes from everyone involved\, pieces that range from powerhouse free jazz to textural landscapes to vamp-driven grooves.  The recordings on August 16th will be for an album that will be released to coincide with a tour in the Midwest early next year.  The Chicago/Texas Sound Ensemble shows at Monks during May were both SRO.  It’s a good idea to get tickets in advance to reserve a seat and hear the penultimate statement by the band before this music gets documented by engineer Stuart Sikes in the studio!
