Ken Vandermark's Free Music Ensemble (FME) is preparing for their second North
American tour next month, sporting a new release entitled “Cuts", available on Okkadisk.

With Nate McBride on bass and Paal Nilssen-Love on drums, this trio is likely the
most adventurous of all of Vandermark's offerings. Working in somewhat of a modular
system of composition, each element can be utilized by any member of the group.
The sets are constructed by resequencing material, and components remain variable
rather than standardized. This forces each player to constantly reinvent and reinterpret
the music from moment to moment - nothing is permanent.

Here's the itinerary:

* 9/14/05 - Chicago, IL @ Empty Bottle - ***RELEASE PARTY*** - 9:30pm, $7
