Don't forget, this IS the North American debut tour of new line up, which now includes cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm who joined the band after Jeb Bishop's departure last fall. They'll be performing reconstructed compositions from their double-cd release “The Color of Memory" as well as new pieces written in preparation for their November European tour. The new material was then recorded in Chicago in December. If the record release shows for “The Color of Memory" at Chicago's Mill were any testament, this newly reconfigured group's performances will prove to be unforgettable!

AND: As a special bonus on this tour, “Free Jazz Classics #3 and #4", will be made available for purchase as a double-cd set for the first time. “Free Jazz Classics" consists of rearrangements of some of Vandermark's favorite composers' work performed by the quintet. The series initiated as a limited run of bonus cds (1,500 or less) packaged with new and original Vandermark 5 material.

Volume #3,"Six for Rollins" originally included with the first edition of V5's “Airports for Light", focuses on the work of the legendary Sonny Rollins.

Volume #4, “Free Kings" initially released with the first edition of “Elements of Style/Exercises in Surprise" concentrates on the music of the extraordinary reedist Rahsaan Roland Kirk. This double-cd release will conclude the “Free Jazz Classics" series.

ALSO: Special silk-screened V5 tour posters designed by Jon Resh of Viper Press will be available for sale!
