Essential New Music: Edition Redux's "Better A Rook Than A Pawn"
Edition Redux is the latest in a sequence of bands that Ken Vandermark has formed that permit him to explore the intersection of planning, spontaneous action and the ways music changes when either combined within or spilled out of stylistic containers. It also continues Vandermark’s reckoning with the fact that he has been around for quite a while, and the time has come for him to pass on what he knows. Edition Redux isn’t just a vehicle for his musical ideas; it’s a chance to impart them on a younger generation of players.
