Erez Dessel (piano, Nord synthesizer), Lily Finnegan (drums), Beth McDonald (tuba/electronics), Ken Vandermark (reeds)
Edition Redux is the most recent of Ken Vandermark's ensembles, adding to the MacArthur Prize winner's internationally and critically acclaimed series of bands which include The Vandermark 5, FME, The Territory Band, The Resonance Ensemble, Entr'acte, Made To Break, and Marker. In addition to Vandermark, who plays saxophones and clarinet with the group, this quartet is composed of Erez Dessel (keyboards), Lily Finnegan (drums), and Beth McDonald (tuba/electronics), who represent the next wave of Chicago’s creative music scene.
The music of Edition Redux includes the range of Vandermark's interests and influences, incorporating the experimental jazz of the AACM; the different schools of improvised music developed in England, Netherlands, and Germany; post-punk, Tropicalia, dub, and funk. The band presented its music for the first time during a U.S. tour in April of 2023, and recorded its initial album, Better A Rook Than A Pawn (Audiographic Records) at Experimental Sound Studio in Chicago immediately following that series of concerts. Called “Essential New Music,” by Magnet Magazine and picked as one of “The Best Jazz on Bandcamp, January 2024,” this recording was released to coincide with a trip to Europe for a series of performances by the ensemble in October of the same year. Edition Redux will tour in the States during February of 2024 to develop new material for its next album and will return to Europe for concerts in November where the band will be a featured group on the Wels Music Unlimited Festival.
