about

"Distant Cousins," a duo album with the legendary musician, Paul Lytton. On this recording Paul plays drums and percussion and Ken Vandermark on Bb clarinet, tenor and baritone sax.

"The music moves quickly between velocities and densities, sounds and rhythms, all connected with a spontaneity and clarity that indicates how much time Paul and I have known each other and played together, which began in Chicago at WNUR exactly 24 years ago." -KV

"Distant Cousins" is being issued as a limited edition LP of 500, pressed by Smashed Plastic, mastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service, and includes a digital download code.
