~ JAZZ ~

These musicians achieve an ideal rarely achieved in free jazz: they sacrifice themselves for each other. By teasing his solos to the climax, Ken Vandermark shows he knows the difference between repetition and repetitiveness. Klaus Kugel is a model drummer, providing both movement and instantaneous burn without even involving a steady beat. A single qualifier will suffice to categorize this free jazz: classic.
