Ken Vandermark & Tim Daisy

Ken Vandermark and Tim Daisy have been performing, recording, and touring together in a number of groups based in Chicago since 2001 including: the Vandermark 5, The Resonance Ensemble , The Frame Quartet, and Topology. Performing as a duo they concentrate on investigating the possibilities of free improvisation through their combined experiences working within a wide variety of improvised and composed musical settings over the years. Drawing on numerous influences including: American and European free jazz, experimental rock, free improvisation, soul and funk as well as 20th century contemporary music and visual art, they combine their creative energies to further explore and assemble sound in an improvised context. Tim and Ken aim to make each performance unique by tirelessly searching for new ways to keep the music fresh and encouraging each other to play beyond their potential.
