A companion set to 2003's FREE JAZZ CLASSICS, VOLS. 1 & 2, VOLS. 3 & 4 find the Vandermark 5 paying tribute to two pioneering innovators: Sonny Rollins and Roland Kirk. Spread out over two discs--one for Rollins and one for Kirk--Ken Vandermark and company select some of those composers' most challenging compositions, and treat the material with the subversive respect it demands.
Both men were renowned for their restless commitment to redefining the limits of jazz; the ensemble takes the outlines of their compositions and stretches them with imagination and vigor, informed by sophisticated harmonic conceptions and a sense of swing. The formidable chops of all five members of Vandermark's group are on constant display throughout both discs, making this set a sure shot of contemporary free jazz. .
Ken Vandermark: Ken Vandermark (bass clarinet, baritone saxophone); Dave Rempis (alto saxophone, tenor saxophone); Jeb Bishop (trombone); Kent Kessler (bass instrument); Tim Daisy (drums).The Wire (p.74) - "Vandermark gets inside some of the music that shaped his own playing and investigates what it really means to him, before moving on to open up other avenues of his own."
JazzTimes (p.88) - "The arrangements are nicely written....Rempis and Vandermark do manage to generate some excitement." Free Jazz Classics, Vols. 3 & 4 Music Ken Vandermark Free Jazz Classics, Vols. 3 & 4 Songs

Purchase Free Jazz Classics, Vols. 3 & 4 CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Erik Friedlander Quake CD (2003)
Free Jazz Classics, Vols. 3 & 4 album
 $15.19 
On Quake, downtown cello boss Erik Friedlander teams up with Japan's fraternal rhythm section the Takeishi brothers (Stomu and Satoshi on bass and drums, respectively) as well as alto saxophonist Andy Laster for a date of intimate, knotty new jazz. In working with an electric bassist in this setting, the opportunities for unique tonalities are everywhere and are exploited to some degree as they were on an earlier work, The Watchman. Over the years, however, Friedlander has become a composer of interesting ensembles and Quake's is no exception. What is so remarkable about the performances on this recording are details such as counterpoint; on the opener, ...

| | Essential Sarah Vaughan: The Great Songs CD (1992)
Free Jazz Classics, Vols. 3 & 4 songs
$9.89
Sarah Vaughan was blessed with one of the strongest and most indelible voices of the 20th century. Her ability to caress a note, scat on the level of Ella Fitzgerald, and jump octaves as if she was a saxophonist made her truly one of a kind. Known as "the Divine One," Vaughan performed interpretations of jazz standards that rival any of her contemporaries.
THE ESSENTIAL SARAH VAUGHAN captures some of Vaughan's most diverse recorded moments. She is presented in three different contexts on this compilation, backed by a remarkable array of musicians. Her scaled-down trio versions of "All of Me," "I Cried for You," and "Speak Low" (featuring pianist Jimmy Jones, bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Roy Haynes) show off Vaughan's jazzier side, while orchestral renditions of "A Sinner Kissed an Angel," "My Man's Gone Now," and others highlight her pop leanings. Vaughan's big-band numbers, however, make up the album's hottest tracks. On "No Count Blues," she trades licks with trumpeter Thad Jones, and, on the swinging "Just One of Those Things," Vaughan really turns up the heat, proving that she's far more than a contemplative ballad singer.
