MW900-2
Past Present
by DKV Trio
About This Release
A seven-CD box set tracing the DKV Trio — drummer Hamid Drake, bassist Kent Kessler and reedist Ken Vandermark — across live performances from 2008 to 2011. Formed in Chicago in 1994 and named simply for its members' initials, the trio plays a spontaneous music firmly within the jazz tradition, its earthy rhythms tied to the lineage of tenorman Fred Anderson, at whose Velvet Lounge the band often appeared. The set includes a rare program of Don Cherry compositions recorded at Italy's Sant'Anna Arresi festival.
