about

"School Days, Crossing Division (OkkaDisk). More potent international diplomacy, courtesy of [Ken] Vandermark, [Jeb] Bishop and drummer Ingebrigt Håker-Flaten and Paal Nilssen-Love. A cutting, wide-roaming, wide-open effort, the CD pays homage to the early-60’s band of the same name led by Steve Lacy and Roswell Rudd (two of whose pieces are performed here)." — Lloyd Sachs, “10 best of the year: Chicago’s jazz greats”, Chicago Sun-Times, January 5, 2001

Dirt... And More Dirt
by Henry Threadgill 14 or 15 Kestra: Agg

supported by 11 fans who also own “Crossing Division”

I really appreciate that with such a large group of musicians the overall sound and experience of listening is really spacious, never cluttered. The lovely recording helps that a lot, and of course the compositional aspects that make it breathe are superb- it gets more and more fun as I listen again and again. Jasper Skydecker

Seconds
by Bloodcount & Tim Berne

supported by 11 fans who also own “Crossing Division”

Free Jazz at its best. Only discovered Tim Berne recently. I love the tension between structure and improvisation on this live album. You get extended really crazy improvisations out of which a structured driving riff will appear. Its really thrilling! Like tension exploding! So yeah, I love Bloodcount but I realise this wont be for everyone 😁. Crinklechips

Green Knights
by The Engines

supported by 11 fans who also own “Crossing Division”

Great, great band, The Engines...this live recording (The Green Mill, Chicago) just hits the sweet spot continuously... The playing, the improvising, the interplay, the energy and the verve just don't get better than this for me...all Ken Vandermark associates, all quality guaranteed composers. Lots of exceptional stuff on this label (Dave Rempis' Aerophonic Records) too...check it all out, it's worth your time and effort. John Cratchley
