Ken Vandermark (Natick, 22 settembre 1964[1]) è un sassofonista, clarinettista e compositore statunitense.

Musicista particolarmente attivo e versatile, con una discografia molto nutrita e che interessa svariati generi musicali, Vandermark ha ottenuto ampi elogi dalla critica. Figura di spicco dell'area di Chicago già a partire dai primi anni '90, il suo lavoro è noto soprattutto nell'ambito della musica di ricerca. Nel 1999 ha ricevuto il premio MacArthur Fellows Program della Fondazione MacArthur.[2]

Biografia

Cresciuto nel Massachusetts, il padre Stu Vandermark lavorava come giornalista per il trimestrale Cadence, storica rivista incentrata sul jazz, blues e sulla musica improvvisata.[3]

Militò nel trio the Fourth Stream, uno dei primi gruppi da lui guidati, a Montréal mentre portava avanti i suoi studi in cinema all'Università McGill, terminati nel 1986.[4] In seguitò si trasferì a Boston dove diresse gruppi come i Lombard Street e Mr. Furious. La musica organizzata da Vandermark in questo periodo anticipa quanto poi da lui portato avanti successivamente a Chicago, città in cui si trasferirà verso la fine del 1989, scrivendo brani in forma di suite che integrano schemi improvvisativi liberi e dedicati a diversi autori e musicisti.

A partire dai primi anni '90 inizia numerose collaborazioni con musicisti e gruppi dell'area di Chicago e internazionali, tra i quali Paal Nilssen-Love, Hamid Drake, Joe McPhee, Paul Lytton, Mats Gustafsson, Peter Brötzmann, Kevin Drumm, The Ex, Zu e i Superchunk.[4] Dopo la morte di Hal Russell, avvenuta nel 1992, Vandermark viene chiamato a sostituirlo nella NRG Ensemble, importante gruppo free jazz attivo sin dagli anni '70, in cui suonerà fino al 1996 e che gli dà per la prima volta una visibilità internazionale.[4] Altro gruppo in cui subentra dopo Hal Russell sono i The Flying Luttenbachers. Tra i diversi gruppi da lui guidati come leader sono da menzionare i Vandermark 5, quintetto formato da due ance, trombone (talvolta sostituito dalla chitarra), contrabbasso e batteria.[4][5]

Nel 1998 vince il sondaggio annuale della rivista Cadence sia nella categoria miglior artista che miglior disco (per Target or Flag dei Vandermark 5) e, nello stesso anno, risulta finalista dell'Herb Alpert Fellowship.[1] L'anno seguente, nel 1999, riceve la prestigiosa borsa di studio del MacArthur Fellows Program. È inoltre il protagonista del documentario Musician (2007) di Daniel Kraus.[1]
